  4. 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.

  5. Inside a quest to save “#doomsdayglacier
    #AreteGlacier Initiative has raised $5 million to improve forecasts of #sealevelrise and explore possibility of refreezing #glaciers in place. #Thwaites glacier is a fortress larger than Florida, a wall of ice that reaches nearly 4,000 feet above the bedrock of West #Antarctica, guarding low-lying ice sheet behind it. But a strong, warm #ocean current is weakening its foundations and accelerating its slide into the Amundsen Sea.

    NEW STUDY: "#Ocean water is pushing miles beneath #Antarctica’s “#DoomsdayGlacier,” making it more vulnerable to melting than previously thought, according to new research which used radar data from space to perform an X-ray of the crucial glacier."

    "...scientists have estimated 👉its complete collapse could ultimately lead to around 10 feet [3 meters]of sea level rise👈 — a...
