Warm ocean tides are eating away at ‘doomsday glacier’ in Antarctica

Warm Water Rushing Under "Doomsday Glacier," Scientists Warn

Chilling Truth Things are heating up at the Thwaites glacier in Antarctica — popularly known as the "Doomsday Glacier" — which, not to put too fine a point on it, is a very worrying thing. Should it completely melt, scientists have long warned that it contains enough water to raise sea levels by more than two feet worldwide — hence its ominous nickname. Now, new research indicates that warm ocean water is being forced miles underneath Thwaites, …

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.

‘Doomsday glacier’ that could cause catastrophic sea-level rise is more vulnerable than scientists thought: study

Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier is much more exposed to warm ocean water than scientists previously believed, according to a new study.

Researchers studying ‘doomsday glacier’ make worrying discovery

Antarctica's "doomsday glacier," referred to as such for its potential to dramatically raise global sea levels, is melting faster than we thought thanks to warmer sea water passing below it, according to a new study.

‘Doomsday Glacier’ Explained: Why Scientists Believe It Predicts Devastating Sea Levels—Which Might Happen Faster Than Thought

The Doomsday Glacier is the widest glacier in the world, and it already accounts for around 10% of global sea level rise.

The Doomsday Glacier in Antarctica is melting faster than scientists thought

The Doomsday Glacier has been studied for years as an indicator of human-caused climate change.
