Dear authors,

The revised manuscript addresses the points brought by the two reviewers adequately, and I am happy to accept this manuscript. I noted two technical points below (page/line numbers are referred to the revised manuscript, not the annotated one), which should be considered as a technical revision before the submission of the final manuscript.

- Eleven glaciers listed in Table 1 were analyzed in this work. Fig. 4 shows that there are several more glaciers that can be considered as MISI prone, according to the bed topography, e.g. Bailey/Slessor/Recovery glaciers, Evans Ice Stream, Rutford Ice Stream. If possible, please briefly mention why these glaciers were not considered for analysis.

- P8L2: “may help ones to choose which glaciers…”
