Change in ice sheet surface height above subglacial lakes in Antarctica

Ice surface elevation changes from mid-2010 to mid-2020 over three subglacial lakes under Antarctica. 

Lake David 80 is shown on the left with a decrease ice surface elevation of 6 m during the study period. The subglacial lake known as David 2 on the right is associated with an increase in ice surface elevation of 8 metres.  A smaller but distinct subglacial lake, named David 180, is located below these, also registering a decreased elevation.
