Zachary Gutierrez+FollowDoomsday Glacier Drama: Sea Levels at RiskThe 'Doomsday Glacier' in Antarctica is cracking up—literally. Scientists are watching it daily because if it collapses, sea levels could jump by over two feet! The glacier’s ice shelf is breaking apart faster than ever, and experts say this could mean more flooding, pricier groceries, and even new diseases. The wildest part? We can help slow it down by cutting pollution. How worried are you about rising oceans? #Science #DoomsdayGlacier #ClimateChange00Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowDoomsday Glacier Drama: It’s Cracking Up!The Thwaites ‘Doomsday Glacier’ is living up to its name, and scientists are officially freaking out. Cracks have doubled in length over 20 years, and now the ice shelf is basically hanging on by a thread. Warmer ocean water is making things worse, creating a vicious cycle of melting. If this keeps up, rising sea levels could be a real-life disaster movie for coastal cities. Mother Nature’s not playing around! #Science #DoomsdayGlacier #ClimateChange20Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowDoomsday Glacier Drama: It’s Melting Fast!The Thwaites Glacier (aka the Doomsday Glacier) in Antarctica is melting way faster than scientists thought. New research shows cracks are speeding up the ice flow, making the glacier less stable and raising the risk of major sea level rise. If this giant goes, cities like NYC and London could face serious flooding. Basically, the planet just got a big, icy warning sign. Anyone else suddenly worried about beachfront property? #Science #DoomsdayGlacier #ClimateChange10Share
Michelle York+FollowAntarctica’s Doomsday Glacier Is ShakingScientists just picked up hundreds of tiny quakes under Antarctica’s infamous Doomsday Glacier—and it’s not good news. These mini earthquakes are like the glacier’s stress diary, showing it’s losing its grip and breaking apart way faster than we thought. Every iceberg that flips and crashes into the sea is another warning sign. If this keeps up, we’re talking major sea level rise that could totally redraw coastlines. Wild (and a little scary) to think about! #Science #Antarctica #DoomsdayGlacier191Share
