Seafloor images shed new light on Thwaites glacier’s retreat
(Picture: Anna Wahlin/University of Gothenburg)In Antarctica, there is a glacier larger than Florida known as the Thwaites glacier, named after geologist Fredrik T Thwaites. However, it also has a more ominous name: the Doomsday glacier.
This nickname was attributed to the glacier because of its high risk of raising sea levels to a critical level.
