THE DOOMSDAY GLACIER, a vast mass of ice in Antarctica, has been melting at a rapid pace for over 80 years, according to a ...
[bc3]1116747803001[/bc3] Scientists at UC Irvine have created a first-ever map of glaciers across the Antarctic continent, revealing new details of speed and movement that should prove critical in … ...
Researchers say the new map is like a "crystal ball" showing us what could happen to the glacier in the future if it becomes detached from its current grounding point — which is around 984 feet ...
Underground heat is cooking the Thwaites Glacier from below, and could push it closer to collapse. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...

The Thwaites Glacier, part of the vast West Antarctic Ice Sheet, is one of the world's fastest-changing and most unstable glaciers. At 74,000 square miles large, it's roughly the size of the state ...
Warmer temperatures are melting the glaciers and the meltwater allows the seed to start growing. Antarctica is in the grip of some of the world's fastest climate change. Its melting ice could ...
This is the 10th dispatch in a series from Jeff Goodell, who will be investigating the effect of climate change on Thwaites glacier. Ali Graham, a 37-year-old geophysicist from the U.K.’s ...
Scientists have unveiled the most detailed map of Antarctica without ice, revealing its hidden mountains, canyons, and geological features. The new Bedmap3 dataset helps researchers understand ice ...
I came face to face with the Doomsday Glacier (a.k.a. Thwaites glacier) in 2019, on a trip to Antarctica aboard the Nathaniel B. Palmer, a 308-foot-long icebreaker operated by the National Science ...
