> whether the Antarctic situation might resemble the postulated 'ice-dam'...
I asked the same thing over at Stoat a while back -- left some notes
and cites in the 'Why Study Antarctica' thread there, after coming
across a bunch of articles about water moving under the ice, liquid
water found in large voids below the ice when drilling through the
ice, rapid drumlin formation under the Antarctic ice, and then taking
another look at the Channeled Scablands.
All these lovely drawings of "meltwater lakes dammed up behind ice"
seem to have been done before people started looking at the way melt
water goes down below the ice.
