Accurate predictions of ice mass loss from Antarctica are crucial for sea-level rise projections. This study investigates the impact of warmer basal temperatures on Antarctic ice sheet mass balance using numerical modeling. Results show that even a small increase in basal warming could lead to increased mass loss and the destabilization of previously frozen areas.
