Scientists got their first up-close look at whats eating away part of Antarcticas Thwaites ice shelf, nicknamed the Doomsday Glacier because of its massive melt and sea rise potential, and its good and bad news.

A small, pencil-shaped robot gave scientists new insights about the Thwaites ice shelf and why it's melting so quickly.

Antarcticas "Doomsday Glacier" -- nicknamed because its collapse could drive catastrophic sea level rise -- is melting rapidly in unexpected ways, according to new research.

Thwaites is melting slower than thought, but the worst of it is concentrated in underbelly cracks, threatening the Antarctica glacier’s stability.

It suggests that while melting beneath much of the ice shelf is weaker than expected, melting in cracks and crevasses is much faster.
