Simulation of the Antarctic ice sheets through the last glacial termination

This animation shows surface velocities of a 15 km-resolution ice-sheet model simulation of Antarctica. It starts at the last glacial maximum (LGM, 25,000 years before present) and runs through to present. It is described more fully in Golledge et al., 2014, 'Antarctic contribution to meltwater pulse 1A from reduced Southern Ocean overturning'. Nature Communications, 5, 5107.
