First modeling attempt of East Siberian ice topography under MIS 6 climate conditions.
The ice shelf an extent comparable with or larger than the current Ross ice shelf in West Antarctica.
The ice shelf geometry is highly sensitive to calving and basal melting parameters.
The ice cap is connected to the Eurasian ice sheet as suggested by Grosswald (1999).
The absence of connection with the Eurasian ice sheet does not inhibits the growth of the ice shelf.
