which I understand very well, it was with the way it was presented in the article which was rife with errors and some comments which were also. You have -appeared- to imply that the Ross shelf is somehow
suspended by a cantilever that keeps it from physically behaving essentially like any floating ice.
My contention is that there is water underneath it just as there is below any iceberg and that the
buoyancy forces (and its weight) are enormous compared with what little tensile strength it would have by virtue of whatever 'attachment' it shares with the land.
