Antarctica's Doomsday Glacier Melting Faster, Raising Sea Level Concerns

A new study reveals that the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica, known as the "Doomsday Glacier," is melting much faster than previously predicted due to warm seawater eroding its base. This accelerated melting could lead to significant sea-level rise, potentially inundating coastal communities and displacing millions. The glacier's instability poses a severe threat, with projections indicating it could retreat to a deeper basin within 10 to 20 years, further hastening its demise and contributing to a global sea-level rise of up to 10 feet.
