Ocean water is pushing miles beneath Antarctica’s “Doomsday Glacier.” This happening is making it more vulnerable to melting than previously considerations, according to new investigations. This new research used radar data from space to perform an X-ray of the crucial glacier. The World’s Widest Glacier In West Antarctica, the Thwaites Glacier is the world’s widest
NEW YORK - Due to global warming, a deep ocean current around Antarctica that has been relatively stable for thousands of years could head for "collapse" over the next few decades. Such a sudden shift could affect the planet's climate and marine ecosystems for centuries to come. So says a recent study that was published in the peer-reviewed
SAN FRANCISCO - Far away in West Antarctica floats an 80-mile-long chunk of ice the size of Florida, called the Thwaites Glacier.
