Scientists are increasingly concerned about Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier, nicknamed the "Doomsday Glacier." Radar images reveal alarming fractures that have doubled in width. This rapid fracturing since 2002 is a critical new finding.
The scale of the ice shelf's disintegration is unprecedented. Cracks have extended to over 320 kilometers. Satellite data shows increasing fracturing, a hidden truth about its instability. Satellites have been monitoring this since 2002.
This colossal glacier's collapse could be catastrophic. Experts warn it could raise global sea levels by up to 3.35 meters. The potential impact on coastal cities worldwide is immense. The world watches, holding its breath.
What they found is a stark reminder of climate change's urgency. The irreversible collapse of Thwaites Glacier is now a tangible threat. Will this accelerate global climate action?
