Antarctic iceberg, Amundsen Sea Not to be confused with the Amundsen
Gulf.
the area is known as the Amundsen Sea Embayment (ASE); it forms one of
the three major ice drainage basins of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet,
the others being the Ross Sea Embayment and the Weddell Sea Embayment.
Thwaites Glaciers, which both flow into the Amundsen Sea, are two of
Antarctica's largest five.
The Amundsen Sea is an arm of the Southern Ocean off Marie Byrd Land
in western Antarctica.
the ice discharge rate into the Amundsen Sea embayment was about 250
km3 per year. Assuming a steady rate of discharge, this alone is
sufficient to raise global sea levels by 0.

The Amundsen Sea continental shelf is one of the remotest areas of
coastal Antarctica, and was relatively unexplored until the late
1980s.

Amundsen Sea is located along the western Antarctic coast between Ross
Sea and Bellingshausen Sea.
Besides Amundsen Sea, a lot of locations were named after the
Norwegian explorer and navigator Roald Amundsen in Antarctica: Mount
Amundsen, Amundsen Bay, Amundsen Coast, Amundsen Glacier, Amundsen
The plate-tectonic reconstruction of the Amundsen Sea is one of the
most interesting geophysical and geological challenges in recent days.
Amundsen Sea Embayment (ASE), has been comparatively unstudied
primarily due to its remoteness from logistical centers.
