The Great Ice Barrier. January 16, 2017. After an incredibly windy night at sea, we've reached the largest ice shelf in Antarctica, the Ross Ice Shelf. This massive piece of ice spans 188,000 square miles (487,000 km 2) and rises about 160 ft (50 m) above the water surface. If we were to look below the surface, we would find another 1,600 ft.

Ice typically reaches its maximum extent from mid-February to early March. In an average year, ice covers about 40% of the Great Lakes at peak. Last year, ice coverage peaked at about 23% and by mid-February, ice only covered 7% of the lakes. Earth experienced its hottest year on record in 2023, largely because of human-caused climate change.
