Thwaites Glacier is a massive glacier located in Antarctica, approximately 18 miles from Mount Murphy. The glacier is nicknamed the Doomsday Glacier due to its potential to rapidly collapse. According to Space.com, Thwaites Glacier is melting in unexpected ways, which could lead to its collapse. The glacier is currently the same size as the state of Florida.
Thwaites Glacier is a huge potential global hazard, melting faster than expected. The British Antarctic Survey conducted two investigations that confirmed this conclusion.
Two studies conducted by researchers from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and published in the journal Nature suggest warm water is beginning to seep through the glacier’s most vulnerable parts as a result of rising global temperatures. The problem is that if this huge mass of ice were to melt completely, it would make clear why it is called the Doomsday Glacier: it could raise global sea levels by 25 inches or 65 centimeters.
And not only that: as the studies show, a collapse of Thwaites Glacier would cause a large part of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet to melt, resulting in an absolutely catastrophic scenario. Sea levels could rise by as much as ten feet (3 meters) from the “contagion effect” of the disappearance of Thwaites Glacier, which would mean the disappearance of cities, islands, countries and many coastal areas as we know them.
Rising sea levels threaten both habitable and farmland. Researchers drilled into Doomsday Glacier, which floats on water, to more than half a kilometer below its baseline.
Among the worrying research findings is that Thwaites Glacier is melting faster than expected. one of the authors of the paper on the glacier’s dire situation said that warm water is cause the glacier to melt by 98 feet per year.
“Warm water is getting into the weakest parts of the glacier and making it worse,” said Schmidt. “That is the kind of thing we should all be very concerned about.” Worst of all, this meltwater ends up in the base cracks of Thwaites Glacier. In other words, key areas affected not only by warmer water, but also by ocean salt accelerating ice melting.
If the discovered cracks, through which the water seeps, spread to the entire glacier, the whole planet will understand why this huge chunk of ice in Antarctica is called the Doomsday Glacier. If Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica collapses, it could lead to the melting of a significant part of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
This could cause sea levels to rise by up to 10 feet (3 meters), leading to a catastrophic scenario, with the disappearance of cities, islands, countries, and many coastal areas.
