Earth ChangesAntarctica’s ‘Doomsday Glacier’ is even more dangerous than we thought: Study says sea levels could rise TWICE as much as previous estimates Posted on October 19, 2026 by Administrator Antarctica’s ‘Doomsday Glacier’ is even more dangerous than scientists had previously thought, a new study has found. The Thwaites Glacier in western Antarctica is a huge river of ice covering an area larger than Great Britain. If it were to collapse completely, it has the potential to raise sea levels by a staggering 26 inches (65 centimetres) and wreak havoc on the world’s coastal regions.
