Antarctica's 'Doomsday Glacier' Melting Half a Mile Each Year Due to Warm Water
May 21, 2024, 03:16 AM
Recent studies have revealed that Antarctica’s 'Doomsday Glacier,' formally known as Thwaites Glacier, is melting at an accelerated rate due to warmer ocean water passing beneath it. This glacier, which has the potential to significantly raise global sea levels, is now understood to be more vulnerable than previously thought. Researchers have found that warm water is causing the glacier to melt at a rate of half a mile each year. The implications of this discovery are potentially dire for sea level rise, posing a significant threat to coastal regions worldwide. Reports from CNN, The Washington Post, and The Hill highlight the urgency of this issue.
