The Florida-sized glacier got its nickname because of how much ice it has and how much seas could rise if it all melts.

New footage has revealed Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier is shrinking from below in a way scientists hadn't expected – with melting happening rapidly along the cracks and crevasses in its base.

Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier" — nicknamed because its collapse could drive catastrophic sea level rise — is melting rapidly in unexpected ways.

The pencil-shaped robot is giving scientists their first look at the forces eating away at the Thwaites glacier in Antarctica.

Researchers sent a robot through 2,000 feet of ice to study the quickly receding ice shelf

New data and images from an underwater robot show the impact of warm water cutting into Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier.

This pencil-shaped robot provided a close-up view on what is eating away at Doomsday Glacier. A group of researchers obtained their first close-up view of what is consuming a portion of the Thwaites ice shelf in Antarctica, which is also known as the Doomsday Glacier because of its potential for catastrophic melting and sea level rise.

The Thwaites glacier could cause global sea levels to rise by more than half a meter if it melts. But scientists examining erosion say there is good news and bad news

Scientists got their first up-close look at what's eating away part of Antarctica's Thwaites ice shelf, nicknamed the Doomsday Glacier because of its massive melt and sea rise potential.

Thwaites is nicknamed as the Doomsday Glacier because its collapse could lead to a catastrophic rise in sea levels.
