35 meters per second: Huge glacier broke apart in record time. In Antarctica, cracks are constantly forming in ice sheets, which then cause icebergs to break off.
Climate change is accelerating what is actually a natural process. Scientists cannot fully calculate what will happen to the glaciers in the next few decades. The researchers at the University of Washington published their results in the journal AGU Advances. As the team stated, there is so much frozen water in the glaciers of Greenland and Antarctica that the world's oceans would rise by several meters if they were to melt.
