Scientists from the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration warn of a "grim outlook" for the Thwaites Glacier, also known as the "Doomsday Glacier."

After years of research, scientists studying the massive Thwaites Glacier have found little reason for optimism.

Tidal action pumping warmer sea water on the underside of the massive Thwaites Glacier will “inexorably” accelerate its melting this century, which could lead to the collapse of the entire West Antarctic ice sheet and seriously impact global sea levels,

Scientists using ice-breaking ships and underwater robots have found the Thwaites Glacier is melting at an accelerating rate and could be on an irreversible path to collapse.

As a six-year investigation into the Thwaites glacier in Antarctica wraps up, the scientists involved are pessimistic for the future of this glacier and the consequences for sea level rise

A new science briefing has revealed there is a "grim outlook" for Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica, also known as the 'Doomsday Glacier', which if it melts could plunge parts of the world underwater. Thwaites Glacier is a vast area of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and is the same size as Great Britain or the US state of Florida.

Researchers from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) used underwater robots to take new measurements of the glacier, which is the same size as Great Britain.
