Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica—often called the "Doomsday Glacier"—is one of the fastest-changing ice–ocean systems on Earth, and its future remains a major uncertainty in global sea-level rise ...

Underwater “storms” are melting the ice shelf protecting the Thwaites “doomsday” glacier in Antarctica, raising concerns that we could be underestimating future sea level rise. Up to 10 kilometres ...

CNN — Antarctica's so-called "doomsday glacier" -- nicknamed because of its high risk of collapse and threat to global sea level -- has the potential to rapidly retreat in the coming years, scientists ...

Bad weather has postponed attempts to set up camp on the Thwaites Glacier. So researchers got onto the sea ice and met a ...

As strange as it may sound, scientists seem to have found a strong connection between storms and Antarctic ice. The latter is often brought up in conversations about global warming or glacier retreat, ...

A glacier in Antarctica is committing "ice piracy"—stealing ice from a neighbor—in a phenomenon that has never been observed in such a short timeframe, say scientists. This activity was previously ...

The calving was so drastic that it caused measurable earthquakes in the region. An Antarctic glacier has experienced a rapid retreat 10 times faster than previously measured, according to new research ...

Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica is changing more quickly than almost any other ice-ocean system on the planet. Scientists thought they understood Antarctica's ice behavior until recent years ...

Hektoria Glacier’s sudden eight-kilometer collapse stunned scientists, marking the fastest modern ice retreat ever recorded in Antarctica. Its flat, below-sea-level ice plain allowed huge slabs of ice ...
