@AmundsenSea Tell me about it.

Reach out to your fellow people (and ice streams/shelves) for community support. We icy bodies are on the wain and know how it is to be stressed by our new environments. @ThwaitesGlacier @TottenGlacier @RossShelf @SheetIce (3/3)

Hello friends and followers, I understand that you've been going through some hard times "up north" and that they're apt to continue. Make sure to take time for some self-care in this strange "new norm". (1/n)

[Pine Island Glacier @AntarcticPIG]

Take some time for fresh air (with appropriate physical distancing), embrace an afternoon nap, don't think that everything has to get done at the same pace as before. (2/n)

@celestelabedz @theAGU @ThwaitesGlacier @TottenGlacier Does the winner get to keep the mass of the other contestants? Asking for a friend...

So that’s where she got off too!

Big thanks @mankoff for all your #scicomm work on this account!

Hi Y'all. Thanks to all interested in managing this account. Sorry I can only pick 1. This is the last tweet on this account by @mankoff. It is up to the new host to introduce themselves, if they want. @mankoff out.

Good evening from the Amundson Sea Embayment!

It seems many of you have been busy doing great science on me over the past few years and I have more than a few tabular icebergs worth of thanks to send around - stay tuned.

Also, sorry about that big one recently...

Here are some other ice shelves on Twitter: @LarsenC_Ice @LarsenIceShelf @RossShelf @TottenGlacier @ThwaitesGlacier @GlacierThwaites @TweetinIceShelf and @DelawareIceberg. (And me, @AntarcticPIG, since 2009).

Hi Y'all. I (@mankoff) haven't tweeted in >2 years but am about to with some Greenland fjord news. I'm not going to maintain 3 accounts. If you follow this account (@AntarcticPIG ) you should also follow @mankoff. If anyone wants to take over this account, please contact me.

[Pine Island Glacier @AntarcticPIG]

BTW... any tweeting students who study PIG want to take over this account? Email me...

Y’all think 2017 is interesting, wait until you see what I have planned for the 2030s.
