Two Antarctic glaciers are now losing ice at a faster rate than any time over the past 5,500 years, with "potentially disastrous" implications for sea level rise, new research has found.
Deep channels discovered under the Antarctic's so-called "Doomsday glacier" may be allowing warm ocean water to melt the underside of ice, according to scientists collecting data from an area crucial to understanding sea-level rise.
Scientists have issued new warnings over a glacier in Antarctica that is described as "the doomsday glacier" because its collapse could lead to rapid sea-level rise.
