Dear authors,
thank you for your revisions which I believe satisfactorily address all comments by the reviewers. I am therefore happy to accept your manuscript for publication, however with one suggestion to consider at your discretion: It is good that you have specified the sea ice to be landfast sea ice. Often, freshwater glaciologists have to sharpen their sea ice terminology! :) In that sense it is also important to note that the landfast sea ice in the Larsen B was actually multiyear landfast ice as you of course know and have described once. However, multiyear landfast ice (MYFI) is a standing term that is used by many authors including Massom et al 2010 which you already cite. I think it would be nice to add multiyear in a few places where appropriate, e.g. in the abstract and later on. That also expresses that this ice was probably thicker and harder (due to desalination) than first-year landfast ice elsewhere and in other studies. Maybe that is even worth elaborating a bit more on.
Thank you for your consideration and congratulations.
Christian
