   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amundsen_Sea

   The study projected a sea level rise of 1.3 m (4.3 ft) from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet if all the sea ice in the Amundsen Sea melted. [3] Measurements made by the British Antarctic Survey in 2005 showed that the ice discharge rate into the Amundsen Sea embayment was about 250 km 3 per year. Assuming a steady rate of discharge, this alone was ...

   Complete melting of Thwaites glacier is predicted to increase global sea levels by 65 cm (2.13 ft) according to the European Geosciences Union, [8] and the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences states that the collapse of Thwaites glacier could ultimately lead to sea-level rise of up to 3 meters [9] if it draws the Pine ...

   [40] [41] Most ice losses occur at the Amundsen Sea Embayment [38] and its three most vulnerable glaciers – Thwaites Glacier, Pine Island Glacier and Smith Glacier. [ 42 ] [ 43 ] Around 2005, they were thought to lose 60% more mass than what they have gained, and to contribute about 0.24 millimetres (0.0094 inches) per year to global sea ...

   After breaking off from Thwaites Glacier Tongue, those icebergs ran aground in the Amundsen Sea, about 20 mi (32 km) northeast of Bear Peninsula. Initially, their southern extent was only 3 mi (4.8 km) north of Thwaites Glacier Tongue, [ 31 ] but as parts of the iceberg tongue continued to calve, it diminished in size (to 70 mi (110 km) long ...
