Model snapshots illustrating assumptions regarding the timing and location of ice accumulation. Inset plot shows obliquity history at the beginning of the simulations with time and obliquity on x and y axes, respectively. Precipitation occurs at times indicated by the filled blue regions (see Fig. 6). a MOLA hillshade contour (1 km interval) map indicating location of model flowline (white line) and extent of ice in the model (transparent blue lines) at − 25.1 (circle in inset) and − 24.8 Myr (square in inset). Topographic profiles of the ice deposit at − 25.1 and − 24.8 Myr are shown in b and c, respectively with the blue line (and right y-axis) indicating ice accumulation/ablation rate. Ice thickness for these times are shown in d and e with the shaded region in d indicating extent of ice accumulation
