Causal relation between processes leading to a high‐end contribution of Antarctica to sea level rise (SLR). The Antarctic climate response affects Surface Melt and Bottom Melt, which together with Calving and Hydrofracturing determine the stability of the ice shelves. If the ice shelves break up, the dynamics encompassing instability mechanisms like Marine Ice Sheet Instability (MISI) and Marine Ice Cliff Instability (MICI) and basal sliding control the final contribution of the Antarctic ice sheet to high‐end SLR.
