Streamflow in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica occurs over 12-14 weeks of the austral summer, and is generated by glacial melt. The magnitude of ... surface water routing and subsurface water flow ...

The dire prediction came after 500 ice-flow models of the glacier all predicted the instability would be ­triggered if the rate of ice melt due to ocean warming stays at current levels.
