ice shelf

• Because the boundaries of west antarctica are so sunken , ice at the edges makes extensive contact with the surrounding seawater , and a good deal extends ? as floating ice shelves ? onto the ocean surface
  由于南极洲西部陆地没入海水，所以积冰外缘广泛接触海水，许多延伸部份（如浮动的冰棚）也冒出海面。
• Between july and november 2002 researchers picked up acoustic signals of unprecedented clarity when recording seismic signals to measure earthquakes and tectonic movements on the ekstroem ice shelf on antarctica ' s south atlantic coast
  2002年7月至11月期间，研究人员在纪录南极洲南大西洋沿岸爱克斯钟冰棚上地震和地壳运动的讯号时，撷取到清晰的尖锐讯号。
• Between july and november 2002 researchers picked up acoustic signals of unprecedented clarity when recording seismic signals to measure earthquakes and tectonic movements on the ekstroem ice shelf on antarctica ' s south atlantic coast
  2002年7月至11月，科学家在南极洲南大西洋沿岸的埃克斯特伦陆架冰地区记录地震信号时，却意外接收到了异常清楚的声音信号。
• But the scientists camped out near the ross ice shelf had reason to believe that once the ross ice streams carried away that region ' s one million cubic kilometers of ice , the rest of the sheet ? including the area drained by the ronne streams and part of the east antarctic ice sheet ? would surely follow
  不过，驻扎在罗斯冰棚附近的科学家有理由相信，一旦罗斯冰流携带走100万立方公里的积冰，其他冰原（包括隆内冰流与南极洲东部部份地区）也会随后跟进。
