OK, that makes some sense. But I'd have preferred to see the
landmass still outlined separately from the shelves.


Yes, that would have been more useful. All I can suggest is to
compare those ice charts with this map of Antarctica which shows
the land and ice shelves.

Graham,

The ice shelves are shown in dark grey on a map you linked:

Yes, I thought that was the case but regarded it as a bit misleading
since Tierra del Fuego would then appear to be an ice shelf. ;-)
