The inadequacy resulting from the action of glaciostatic stresses distributed around the margins of an ice shelf leads to a reaction force, termed form drag, at the grounding line of an ice stream. Finite-element simulations of the Ross Ice Shelf discussed here show that form drag dominates dynamic drag at the grounding line of ice streams B and C. -from Current Antarctic Literature
