Cracks in Doomsday Glacier's ice shelf raise sea-level concerns
Satellite data reveals that Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier, known as the "Doomsday Glacier," is developing dangerous cracks in its ice shelf. Researchers warn that weakening of the Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf and its pinning point could accelerate ice movement, making the glacier increasingly unstable. This breakdown may significantly contribute to faster global sea-level rise in the coming years.
