A total collapse of the roughly 80-mile-wide Thwaites Glacier, the widest in the world, would trigger changes that could lead ...

Scientists aren’t too optimistic and have said there’s a 'grim outlook' if the glacier melts, plunging parts of the world ...

"The Thwaites is pretty much doomed." The findings are the culmination of six years of research conducted by the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration, a collective of more than 100 scientists.

The Thwaites Glacier on the vast West Antarctica Ice Sheet is commonly called the "Doomsday Glacier" because of its potential to significantly raise sea levels by as much as 10 feet globally, ...

The Thwaites Glacier, part of the vast West Antarctic Ice Sheet, is one of the world's fastest-changing and most unstable glaciers. At 74,000 square miles large, it's roughly the size of the state ...

The Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica is seen in this undated image from NASA. Areas of the glacier may be undergoing "vigorous melting" from warm ocean water caused by climate change, researchers say.

Why is the Thwaites Glacier so important? Thwaites Glacier drains a huge area of Antarctica’s ice sheet — about 74,000 square miles (192,000 square kilometers), an expanse bigger than Florida.

Glacier scientists used a robot to observe melting beneath the Thwaites Glacier, aka the "Doomsday Glacier," in Antarctica. The glacier is expected to contribute significantly to sea level rise ...

Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier got its nickname the “Doomsday Glacier” for its potential to flood coastlines around the world if it collapsed. It is already contributing about 4% of annual ...

Thwaites Glacier is located in West Antarctica and covers 74,000 square miles (192,000 square kilometers). One part of the glacier juts out into the ocean and holds back the rest of the ice-mass ...

At 80 miles across, Thwaites is the world's widest glacier. It has been nicknamed the "Doomsday Glacier" for the catastrophic effects its thawing could have on global sea-level rise.
