Antarctica jet stream satellite.

The heat transfer vortex can be noted arriving on WAIS west of the peninsula while pushing frigid air from the top ice off the continent east of the peninsula.

Over east Antarctica. Opposite of WAIS (west Antarctica) there is an 'on shore' wind coming from Australia. That wind is lower tropsphere and does not reach the top ice. It diverts to circulation around the ice sheets but exits back out to The East Wind Drift ( the body of water circulating around Antarctica.)
