Rapid Melting of Antarctic 'Doomsday Glacier' Raises Sea Level Concerns

Thwaites Glacier, known as the "Doomsday Glacier," is melting faster. It holds enough ice to raise sea levels by over two feet. Scientists used ice-breaking ships and underwater robots to study it. They found warm ocean water melting the ice through deep cracks. While a catastrophic collapse is less likely, the glacier could disintegrate within 200 years. This could lead to a 10-foot sea level rise, devastating coastal areas.
