Widespread distribution of supraglacial lakes around the margin of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet.

Supraglacial lakes are important to ice sheet mass balance because their development and drainage has been linked to changes in ice flow velocity and ice shelf disintegration. However, little is known about their distribution on the world's largest ice sheet in East Antarctica. Here, we use ~5 million km of high-resolution satellite imagery to identify >65,000 lakes (>1,300 km) that formed around the peak of the melt season in January 2017.
