Scientists have looked back in time to reconstruct the past life of Antarctica’s “Doomsday Glacier” — nicknamed because its collapse could cause catastrophic sea level rise. They have discovered it started retreating rapidly in the 1940s, according to a new study that provides an alarming insight into future melting.

The ‘Doomsday Glacier’ is rapidly melting. Scientists now have evidence for when it started and why

Breaching the Paris Agreement's temperature goal of two degrees Celsius could significantly melt the Filchner Ronne Ice Shelf in Antarctica, the second largest ice sheet on Earth, and could substantially contribute to raising global sea levels.

CNN By Laura Paddison, CNN (CNN) — Scientists have looked back in time to reconstruct the past life of Antarctica’s “Doomsday Glacier” — nicknamed because its collapse could cause catastrophic sea level rise. They have discovered it started retreating rapidly in the 1940s, according to a new study that provides an alarming insight into future melting. The Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica is the world’s widest and roughly the size of Florida. …

At the end of Antarctica: glaciers retreat

A fateful cut-off point may soon be passed on West Antarctica. The Thwaites glacier is close to breaking, fears oceanographer Anna Wåhlin who has just completed new measurements under the ice. What this means for sea level rises is unclear.

En ödesdiger brytpunkt kan snart passeras på Västantarktis. Thwaites glaciär är nära att gå sönder, befarar oceanografen Anna Wåhlin som just slutfört nya mätningar under isen. Vad detta betyder för havsnivåhöjningarna är oklart.

'Doomsday Glacier' could be gone in five years

Massive Antarctica iceberg, the size of the US state of Florida, causes major concerns among researchers studying its accelerated melting. Scientists discovered that the iceberg began to melt faster in the 1940s. The iceberg received its nickname because its melting could have catastrophic consequences for the planet, CNN reports.

„Ghețarul Apocalipsei”, un bloc de gheață masiv din Antarctica, de dimensiunile statului american Florida, provoacă temeri mari printre cercetătorii care-i studiaza topirea accelerată. Oamenii de știință au descoperit că ghețarul și-a început topirea accelerată în anii ’40 ai secolului trecut. Ghețarul a primit porecla din cauza faptului că topirea sa ar duce la consecințe absolut catastrofale pentru planetă, relatează CNN.
