Antarctica, Doomsday Glacier
Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier" is set to retreat "further and faster," scientists warn
Scientists from the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration warn of a "grim outlook" for the Thwaites Glacier, also known as the "Doomsday Glacier."
Thwaites Glacier: Scientists predict ’Doomsday’ melt that could end the world as we know it
Research indicates the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica may collapse within 200 years, causing significant sea level rise. This could submerge island nations and key cities, with accelerated melting expected this century due to tidal action and other factors.
Much of Thwaites Glacier - Antarctica's largest - could be gone by 23rd century, experts warn
If the Thwaites Glacier melted entirely, experts said it would raise sea levels by 3.3 metres, enough to put Westminster, Battersea and Canary Wharf underwater.
Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier may vanish by 23rd century, experts warn
A vast ice sheet in Antarctica, comparable in size to Great Britain, may nearly vanish by the 23rd century, according to experts. The Thwaites Glacier, one of the globe’s largest and most rapidly moving glaciers, along with the Amundsen Sea Embayment, contributes 8% to the current global sea level rise, which is 4.6mm annually.
Antarctica’s ‘doomsday’ glacier on the verge of collapse, experts warn
A glacier known as ‘the doomsday glacier’ that has the potential to cause sea levels to rise across the planet could be on the verge of collapse, scientists have warned. Researchers from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) used underwater robots to take new measurements of the Thwaites Glacier, which is the same size as Great Britain or Florida.
The ‘Doomsday’ Glacier Is Set to Melt Faster. That’s Not Good
Tidal action pumping warmer sea water on the underside of the massive Thwaites Glacier will “inexorably” accelerate its melting this century, which could lead to the collapse of the entire West Antarctic ice sheet and seriously impact global sea levels,
Antarctica’s ‘Doomsday Glacier’ Could Be Gone by 23rd Century
After years of research, scientists studying the massive Thwaites Glacier have found little reason for optimism.

Scientists Horrified by What They Found Under the Doomsday Glacier
Cold Hard Facts A team of scientists have been closely monitoring the Thwaites — or "Doomsday" — glacier in Antarctica since 2018. Now, they're summarizing the findings of their six year project, The International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration,
Antarctica’s 'doomsday' glacier is heading for catastrophic collapse
As a six-year investigation into the Thwaites glacier in Antarctica wraps up, the scientists involved are pessimistic for the future of this glacier and the consequences for sea level rise

Thwaites Glacier won't collapse like dominoes as feared, but it doesn't mean the 'Doomsday Glacier' is stable
Thwaites Glacier holds enough ice to raise global sea levels by more than 2 feet (0.65 meters). Once Thwaites starts to destabilize, it also will destabilize neighboring glaciers .
