A global group of scientists, engineers and policy experts has unveiled an ambitious plan to build a wall along the ‘Doomsday Glacier’ as flooding fears continue to grow.
Located on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, Thwaites Glacier earned its apocalyptical name due to its potential impact on sea levels. Covering a vast 192,000 km², making it comparable in size to Great Britain, the glacier is melting at an unprecedented rate due to human-fuelled climate change.
