  6. Boy, it almost seems like a #GlobalConspiracy by #BigOil and #BigMineral... Keep warming temps so they can mine #Antarctica!

    Antarctica hides huge caches of gold, silver, copper and iron. As the ice melts, countries may race to harvest them.

    Melting ice, rebounding land, and rising seas will change what resources are available in Antarctica, a new analysis finds.

  11. 'Poised to disintegrate': Antarctica's '#DoomsdayGlacier' is set to lose its #IceShelf this year

    #WestAntarctica's "Doomsday Glacier" is on the brink of losing its ice shelf, further compromising the already melting ice mass and threatening to unleash devastating sea-level rises.

    By Patrick Pester

    "A vital ice shelf is about to break away from Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier," further destabilizing one of the world's largest and most vulnerable glaciers.

    The #ThwaitesGlacier is nicknamed the "Doomsday Glacier" because its collapse would send so much ice into the Southern Ocean that #GlobalSeaLevels would rise by 2.1 feet (65 centimeters or 26 inches), flooding coastal communities worldwide. This collapse could take centuries, but there is an imminent threat to Thwaites' eastern ice shelf, which will likely accelerate the glacier's demise.

    "Researchers say that satellite images reveal that the Thwaites eastern ice shelf is about to detach from the glacier, New Scientist reported last week. While the glacier sits on land, the ice shelf is a floating body of ice that is attached to the glacier's mouth. Researchers still have a lot to learn about the glacier, but this shelf acts as a buttress, restraining the flow of ice from the glacier into the sea."

    [...]

    "Thwaites Glacier's slow collapse is part of a wider concern among scientists for the future of the West #Antarctic ice sheet. Thwaites is a key pillar of the ice sheet, protecting other ice from slipping into the ocean. If the whole ice sheet were to go, sea levels would rise by 10.8 feet (3.3 m), according to the British Antarctic Survey. The collapse of ice sheets like this one are considered tipping points, or 'points of no return,' in the fight against climate change — meaning that once they are crossed, they bring about permanent changes that cannot be reversed for many thousands of years."

  17. Hundreds of Iceberg Earthquakes Rattle Antarctica’s Doomsday Glacier

    Capsizing icebergs are violently clashing with the crumbling end of the Doomsday Glacier

    Thwaites Glacier is sometimes known as the Doomsday Glacier. If it were to collapse completely it would raise global sea levels by 3 meters, and it also has the potential to fall apart rapidly.

  22. The #DoomsdayGlacier Is Getting Closer and Closer to Irreversible Collapse

    An analysis of the expansion of cracks in the #ThwaitesGlacier over the past 20 years suggests that a total collapse could be only a matter of time.

    by Ritsuko Kawai, Dec 22, 2025 9:43 AM

    Excerpt: "Known as the '#Doomsday Glacier,' the Thwaites Glacier in #Antarctica is one of the most rapidly changing glaciers on Earth, and its future evolution is one of the biggest unknowns when it comes to predicting global sea level rise.

    "The eastern ice shelf of the Thwaites Glacier is supported at its northern end by a ridge of the ocean floor. However, over the past two decades, cracks in the upper reaches of the glacier have increased rapidly, weakening its structural stability. A new study by the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration (ITGC) presents a detailed record of this gradual collapse process.

    "Researchers at the Centre for Earth Observation and Science at the University of Manitoba, Canada, analyzed observational data from 2002 to 2022 to track the formation and propagation of cracks in the ice shelf shear zone. They discovered that as the cracks grew, the connection between the ice shelf and the mid-ocean ridge weakened, accelerating the upstream flow of ice."
