Editorial statement
This manuscript provides an overview of a major Antarctic ice stream system, the Foundation-Patuxent-Academy, summarising its glaciological and hydrological properties and while offering a comprehensive overview of the extensive existing literature in the region. The review also outlines critical gaps in knowledge providing an ideal starting point for considerations of future work during the International Polar Year in 2032-33.

Short summary
We review research about a group of fast-flowing Antarctic ice streams, the Foundation-Patuxent-Academy System. Previously, we knew little about how these ice streams flow, how they interact with each other and the ocean, what their geological history was, and how they might evolve in a warming world. By reviewing existing research, we have identified the future research needed to determine how these ice streams function, and how they might contribute to future global sea level rise.
