Amundsen Sea Embayment

The Amundsen Sea Embayment is a region in Antarctica located along the coast of West Antarctica. It features a deep indentation that allows warm ocean currents to flow, melting glacial ice from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. This melting contributes to rising sea levels globally. The area is of great interest to scientists studying climate change, as understanding its ice dynamics can provide insights into future sea-level rise. The surrounding environment is also home to diverse wildlife, making it an important ecological area.
