A large glacier in Antarctica, known as the Thwaites Glacier, is melting quickly. A team of about 40 researchers is going on a two-month mission to study the glacier's changes and its impact on sea levels.
Key Facts
- The Thwaites Glacier is located in Antarctica and is roughly the size of Florida.
- It is referred to as the "Doomsday Glacier" due to its potential impact on sea levels.
- Rising temperatures are causing the glacier to melt quickly.
- Nearly 40 researchers are part of the expedition to study the glacier.
- The research mission will last for two months.
- The study aims to understand how the glacier's melting could affect global sea levels.
- Miles O’Brien, a science correspondent, is reporting on the expedition.
