The Amery Ice Shelf is a large ice shelf located in East Antarctica. It is the largest ice shelf in the Antarctic region, covering an area of approximately 1.5 million square kilometers. The Amery Ice Shelf is part of the larger Antarctic Ice Sheet, which is the largest single mass of ice on Earth. The Amery Ice Shelf is important for global climate and sea level rise, as it holds back a large amount of ice that would otherwise contribute to rising sea levels.
