Kamb Ice Stream (Script error: No such module "Coordinates".), a glaciological feature of the Ross Ice Shelf of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet,[1] formerly known as Ice Stream C, the ice stream was renamed in 2001 in honor of Caltech Glaciologist Dr. Barclay Kamb. Its margins were the focus of a sequence of scientific borehole expeditions in 2019 and 2021 where a New Zealand team melted their way through the ice to sample the oceanographic conditions below.[2]
