The Thwaites Glacier on the vast West Antarctica Ice Sheet is commonly called the "Doomsday Glacier" because of its potential to significantly raise sea levels by as much as 10 feet globally, ...

The ice shelf is the floating tongue of the Thwaites glacier, a Florida-sized river of ice that helps to hold one of Antarctica’s two massive ice sheets in check.

Scientists have discovered another cause for melting glaciers, and it's one that has been overlooked before. According to Earth.com, fast-moving winds in West Antarctica frequently blow over the ...

The Thwaites Glacier, part of the vast West Antarctic Ice Sheet, is one of the world's fastest-changing and most unstable glaciers. At 74,000 square miles large, it's roughly the size of the state ...

Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier is reportedly melting “rapidly” in unexpected ways, according to new research published Wednesday by Cornell University and the British Antarctic Survey.

The Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica is seen in this undated image from NASA. Areas of the glacier may be undergoing "vigorous melting" from warm ocean water caused by climate change, researchers say.

Why is the Thwaites Glacier so important? Thwaites Glacier drains a huge area of Antarctica’s ice sheet — about 74,000 square miles (192,000 square kilometers), an expanse bigger than Florida.
