A team of scientists say seawater flowing underneath and into gaps in the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica is contributing to the melting of the massive ice formation — a potentially ominous sign of the coming effects of human-driven #climate change from the world's widest glacier.
These areas of the glacier may be undergoing "vigorous melting" from warm ocean water caused by climate change, which could lead to even more rapid sea-level rise around the globe. https://www.npr.org/2024/05/21/1252727848/antarctica-thwaites-glacier-climate-change-sea-level-rise
