Doomsday Glacier

“Doomsday Glacier” — is a nickname to “Thwaites Glacier”. The nickname refers to scientists' worries regarding Thwaites Glacier's possible role in sea level rise as a result of multiple unanticipated cracks, the disintegration of the ice shelf, or crevasses where melting occurred considerably more quickly. The sea level might rise more than 2 feet if it completely collapses.
