Antarctica, Doomsday Glacier
'Doomsday glacier' on brink of collapse could sink parts of Planet Earth
A new science briefing has revealed there is a "grim outlook" for Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica, also known as the 'Doomsday Glacier', which if it melts could plunge parts of the world underwater. Thwaites Glacier is a vast area of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and is the same size as Great Britain or the US state of Florida.

Scientists say warm sea water is speeding the retreat of the Thwaites Glacier, which acts as a backstop for the huge West Antarctic ice sheet.
"Doomsday Glacier" 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."

Scientists Horrified by What They Found Under the Doomsday Glacier
The Thwaites or "Doomsday" glacier will melt at an even faster rate as the century marches on, a team of international scientists concluded.
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.
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,

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
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.
Antarctica's 'doomsday glacier' might completely vanish by 23rd century
Thwaites Glacier, or "Doomsday Glacier", has been melting at a faster rate in the last 30 years, scientists say. Now a new study says it might vanish completely by the 23rd century.
