Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier Facing Imminent Collapse

Researchers warn that the rapid melting of the 'Doomsday Glacier' could lead to catastrophic sea level rise within the next two centuries.

Thwaites Glacier, also known as the 'Doomsday Glacier,' is retreating faster than expected due to warm ocean water infiltrating deep crevices.
The glacier's collapse could raise global sea levels by over 10 feet, threatening coastal cities worldwide, including Miami and London.
Studies using advanced technologies like the Icefin robot have revealed unexpected melting patterns and the role of tidal action in accelerating ice loss.
Researchers discovered that Thwaites' rapid retreat likely began in the 1940s, possibly triggered by a strong El Niño event.
While some catastrophic scenarios are less likely than previously thought, the overall outlook for Thwaites and the Antarctic Ice Sheet remains dire.
