It's called the Doomsday Glacier because of its potential to dramatically raise sea levels in places such as Florida, and it has been studied for years as an indicator of human-caused climate change.

Scientists have found the first visible evidence that Antarctica's 'Doomsday Glacier' is melting at a faster rate than previously believed - and the event could devastate America's coastal cities.

The fate of Thwaites Glacier transcends scientific interest and has palpable implications for populations worldwide. The ongoing studies provide critical data necessary for formul
