Scientists are preparing to drill 1m deep into Antarctica’s “Doomsday Glacier” in a bid to understand the “underwater tsunamis”, which could have severe consequences for the climate. The collapse of ...

The Thwaites Glacier is on the "cusp of collapse", said David Holland, a professor of ocean science at New York University.

The glacier sits at the northern edge of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, and if it melts, it means bad things for the world ...
