English term or phrase: plumes
This vision of life spread under ice shelves becomes even
more enthralling. Recent images taken by ice-penetrating radar
from planes, which can map the three-dimensional structure
of the ice sheets, show that water melted from the ice,
which is lighter than the seawater because it has less salt, flows
out from the grounding zone along the underside of the shelf in
well-defined PLUMES for hundreds of kilometers. “You’re talking
about an upside-down river,” says David Holland, an oceanographer
at New York University. The inverted rivers melt channels
into the ice that can be 500 to 3,000 meters wide and 200
meters up into the ice itself. If the rivers
carry debris that has melted free
from the ice, they may feed organisms
along those channels.

"La coincidenza indica che il flusso dell’acqua sotto la calotta è responsabile della formazione dei canali sotto la piattaforma di ghiaccio galleggiante. Quando l’ acqua di fusione che scorre sotto lo strato di ghiaccio entra in oceano sotto la piattaforma di ghiaccio, crea un pennacchio di acqua che poi scioglie il ghiaccio creando i grandi tunnel al di sotto della piattaforma di ghiaccio."

"Quando l’acqua di fusione scorre sotto la piattaforma galleggiante e raggiunge l’oceano, causa un pennacchio d’acqua che finisce per sciogliere gli ampi canali sotterranei."
