Doomsday Glacier

Doomsday Glacier is a large, fast-flowing glacier in West Antarctica, known for its potential impact on global sea levels. It acts as a critical ice barrier, holding back massive amounts of ice from entering the ocean. Recently, scientists have observed that parts of the glacier are melting and thinning due to warming temperatures, which could accelerate ice loss. If the glacier continues to weaken and collapse, it could contribute significantly to rising sea levels worldwide. Its name reflects concern about its potential to cause dramatic environmental changes if instability continues.
