Abstract
    Melting beneath floating Antarctic ice shelves is a major driver of ice-shelf mass loss and is projected to increase over the coming century. High-resolution maps of Antarctic basal-melt rates reveal stronger melt within narrow basal channels than previously recognized, making some ice shelves more vulnerable to additional melt channelization.
