Antarctica’s “Doomsday Glacier” – nicknamed because its collapse could drive catastrophic sea level rise – is melting rapidly in unexpected ways, according to new research.

The demise of a West Antarctic glacier poses the world’s biggest threat to raise sea levels before 2100 — and an ice shelf that’s holding it back from the sea could collapse within three to ...

A new science briefing has revealed there is a "grim outlook" for Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica, also known as the 'Doomsday Glacier', which if it melts could plunge parts of the world underwater.

If the whole glacier collapsed, it could raise sea levels by more than 2 feet, researchers said. If it collapses, it's also likely to destabilize other glaciers along the West Antarctic.

A village in the Swiss Alps has been buried beneath ice, rock and mud after a massive piece of a nearby glacier collapsed. On Wednesday, a landslide from the mountain side of Birch Glacier ...

A Swiss Alpine village has been buried by a massive debris field after a glacier collapsed on a nearby mountain. Reuters reports that 90% of Blatten, Switzerland is engulfed by ice, mud, and rock ...

While the glacier collapses in Kyrgyzstan and Italy were much smaller (about 1,000 times smaller in volume than other deadly glacial collapses), Kargel said they probably also have a connection to ...
