“Doomsday Glacier”: Origin of melting discovered – researchers’ gloomy forecast follows. As of: March 6, 2024, 6:28 p.m By: Nico Reiter CommentsPressSplit The Antarctic glacier loses tons of ice every year.

Researchers have now identified the trigger for the melting and explain why it continues. According to researchers, half of the glaciers should have disappeared by 2100. Melting of the Thwaites Glacier began as early as the 1940s. The scientists report that the changes were triggered by an El Niño warm phase.
