And so if were thinking about what is sea level going to be like in ten years, this glacier is the place to be and this is the location to be asking these questions at. were standing right on it. the chaos of broken ice at the front of thwaites is almost 100 miles wide and its collapsing into the sea at two miles a year. it sits at the heart of a vast basin of ice in west antarctica. the glacier is the size of britain and contains more than half a metre of sea level rise. but if thwaites goes, m...

Remote places on earth, the stormiest part of the stormiest continent, only four people have ever been here before. it takes five weeks just to get the science teams and their equipment to the front of the glacier. this is an historic moment, the first time anyone has tried to drill down through this glacier. beneath the 600 metres of ice below me is the most important point of all, the point at which the ice meets the ocean water. it is difficult work, but deploying instruments under the ice is...

It also affects storm surges. take london. if the sea level increases by a metre, then a storm surge that would come every thousand years is likely to hit once a decade instead. so, this glacier that is remote even by antarctic standards, is relevant to us all. and this is how remote. its 1,600km from the nearest research station. until now, no ones attempted a large scale scientific survey of it. this is the webpage of the international thwaites glacier collaboration. its a five—year, $50 mil...
