Whillans Ice Stream

Antarctic balance velocities (note that these are not measured velocities but are inferred from the distribution of driving stress, the broad pattern however does strongly reflect actual surface velocities.)

Whillans Ice Stream (83°40′S 145°00′W / 83.667°S 145.000°W / -83.667; -145.000) is a glaciological feature of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, formerly known as Ice Stream B, renamed in 2001 in honor of Ohio State University glaciologist Ian Whillans.[1]
