The doomsday glacier is undergoing "vigorous ice melt" that could reshape sea level rise projections
The massive "doomsday glacier" known for its rapid destabilization is undergoing a "vigorous ice melt" that scientists say could reshape sea level rise projections. In a new study, glaciologists from the University of California, Irvine, found that warm, high-pressure ocean water is seeping beneath West Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier, making it more vulnerable to melting than previously thought. The glacier is roughly 80 miles across, the widest on Earth. It packs so much ice that if it were to...

Warm ocean water is rushing beneath Antarctica's 'Doomsday Glacier,' making its collapse more likely
Warm seawater flowing into the glacier's underside could significantly accelerate the process of its collapse. A 3D image showing the tidal...
