☆ There's another missing submersible: A $3.6 million vessel mysteriously disappeared near Antarctica's 'Doomsday Glacier'
  + stars: | 2024-02-07 | by ( Ellyn Lapointe | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
The submersible was exploring the Thwaites Glacier to study its potential effects on sea-level rise. Ran's disappearance is a tragic loss for climate change research as scientists were using the autonomous machine to study the melting activity of Thwaites Glacier, also known as the "Doomsday Glacier." AdvertisementThat's why Wåhlin and her team chose Ran to check out Thwaites Glacier because it's actively melting. The Thwaites Glacier is one of the largest in the world and could raise global sea levels significantly if it collapses entirely.

☆ 'Doomsday' glacier — which could raise sea levels by several feet if melted — is 'holding on by its fingernails' says new study
  + stars: | 2022-09-06 | by ( Mia Jankowicz | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
A body of ice known as the "Doomsday Glacier" could melt faster than predicted, a new study says. The Thwaites Glacier protects the West Antarctic ice sheet, and researchers watch it closely. The melting of the Thwaites Glacier — which is around the size of Florida — could raise sea levels by up to two feet.
