As a matter of fact the surface winds have increased significantly and it is easy to see where WAIS is receiving heat from. When examining closer the surface winds, they are highest at the lower elevations as the heavier air decends form The Blue Ice. It is these lower elevations where damage is done to the iceshelves and the ice terraces that protect the base of The Blue Ice. I don't believe any of this biotic damage should be taken by anyone lightly.
