A massive Antarctic glacier that could raise global sea levels by up to two feet if it melts is far more exposed to warm ocean water than previously believed.

A massive Antarctic glacier, which could raise global sea levels by up to two feet if it melts, is far more exposed to warm ocean water than previously believed, according to a study published Monday.

Destabilized by ocean waves and vanishing sea ice, Antarctica’s Hektoria glacier lost 25 kilometers of ice in 16 months — a possible hint of what’s to come.

A new Antarctic ice sheet modelling study from scientists at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography suggests that meltwater flowing out to sea from beneath Antarctic glaciers is making them lose ice faster.

A better picture of the hidden landscape beneath the frozen surface of Antarctica could help us understand how the ice will respond to climate change
