Between 7500 to 4500 years ago, Mawson Glacier on the coast of east Antarctica began melting into the sea. In 2016, researchers Ross Whitmore and Richard Jones spent four weeks camping at Mawson, collecting rocks around the glacier to help them understand how the melt took place, and over what period.
The researchers wanted to gain a better understanding of whats likely to happen to other glaciers particularly the giant Thwaites Glacier in west Antarctica that are melting today.
