Скачать или смотреть Antarctic Glacier Mystery: Unprecedented Retreat or Floating Ice?

The rapid retreat of Hektoria Glacier in Antarctica has sparked a scientific debate. In this video, we explore the 'whodunnit' mystery behind the glacier's dramatic changes. Was it an unprecedented event caused by a grounded glacier, or a floating ice shelf breaking up?
The study suggests a new process where a glacier resting on the seabed rapidly destabilizes, leading to a record-breaking retreat. But other scientists argue that the glacier was floating, making the event less unusual. We delve into the evidence, including satellite data and the role of sea-ice, to understand the implications for future sea-level rise.
Join us as we unravel the Antarctic glacier's secrets and discuss the potential impact on other glaciers, like the 'doomsday' Thwaites Glacier.
