A giant Antarctic glacier is melting but scientists have found a way to thicken Arctic sea ice

Last week, scientists revealed concerning findings about the colossal Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica. Researchers said there is a “grim outlook” for the future of the ice sheet.

Measuring roughly the size of Great Britain, the frozen mass has been dubbed the ‘Doomsday Glacier’ because of the catastrophic effect that its collapse would have on the planet.

If the glacier were to melt, the resulting sea level rise would impact hundreds of millions of people, the scientists say. However, there has been some good news about sea ice this week, too.

Initial trials involving pumping seawater onto snow in the Canadian Arctic have shown the potential to make the ice beneath thicker.
