Ocean storms rapidly melting Antarctica’s doomsday glacier: Study

Ocean storms are accelerating melting beneath Antarctica's Thwaites and Pine Island glaciers, a Nature Geoscience study stated. Using new ocean measurements, researchers found swirling underwater eddies funnel warm water under ice shelves, intensifying ice loss. Thwaites, dubbed the 'Doomsday Glacier', is especially vulnerable as warm flows attack weak, grounded ice zones, melting them.
