Abstract: Sea ice closely interacts with the atmosphere and ocean systems.Land fast sea ice (fast ice) is a kind of sea ice attached to the shore, ice shelves, or grounded icebergs.It is widely distributed along the Antarctic coast and acts as an interface between the atmosphere and the ocean, affecting heat balance feedback, thermal insulation effects, and deep water formation depending on the temporal and spatial effects of the environmental conditions.It also plays an important role in the biological aspects of Antarctica.Attached to the Antarctic glacier is strongly associated with calving events of ice shelf as it is physically coupled with glaciers at the terminus.The existing Antarctic fast ice has been mainly focused on the East Antarctic, especially for the research on long-term fast ice.Several case studies for West Antarctic fast ice with satellite images were performed in local areas.Various types of satellite
