* Thickness: The ice shelf can be up to 700 meters (2,300 feet) thick in some areas.
* Elevation above sea level: The surface of the ice shelf is generally between 30 and 60 meters (100 and 200 feet) above sea level.
* The "height" is relative: The thickness (vertical distance from the surface to the bedrock below) is a more relevant measurement for the Ross Ice Shelf, rather than the height above sea level.
Important Note: The Ross Ice Shelf is constantly changing and flowing, so these measurements are approximations.
