The Thwaites Glacier on the vast West Antarctica Ice Sheet is commonly called the "Doomsday Glacier" because of its potential to significantly raise sea levels by as much as 10 feet globally ...

Learn about the new technique being used to study cracks that have formed on Antarctica's unstable Doomsday Glacier.

Another day, another retreating glacier. Today's casualty is Antarctica's Cadman Glacier, located on the western coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. Using satellite images and in-situ oceanographic ...

Scientists in west Antarctica have captured a first-of-its-kind seafloor mapping near the world’s widest glacier – which is shrinking at a pace that could one day raise global sea levels up to ...

New research from the Chilean Patagonia has identified a link between glacial retreat and underground volcanic activity ...

The outlook for "Doomsday Glacier" just got gloomier. Scientists are warning the Antarctic Ice Sheet, known formally as the Thwaites Glacier, will deteriorate "further and faster" and that sea ...

The edge of Thwaites Glacier, Antarctica. If the entire Florida-sized glacier melts, sea levels will rise by over two feet and much of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet will be exposed.

The Florida-sized glacier could have a major impact on sea levels, and scientists say the rate at which it's melting could rapidly increase in the coming years.

Scientists are warning that apparently stable glaciers in the Antarctic can 'switch very rapidly' and lose large quantities of ice as a result of warmer oceans. Their finding comes after ...

A huge Antarctic glacier has suddenly started melting much faster than before after years of little change thanks to warming oceans, researchers have found.

Thwaites Glacier goes by an arguably unflattering nickname, the "Doomsday Glacier," and there is a very understandable reason for this. The western Antarctic natural wonder is roughly the size of ...

At 80 miles across, Thwaites is the world's widest glacier. It has been nicknamed the "Doomsday Glacier" for the catastrophic effects its thawing could have on global sea-level rise.
