Research Reveals Record-breaking Speed of Glacier Fracture in Antarctica

Recent research from the University of Washington reveals an 80-mph speed record for glacier fracture in Antarctica. The study underscores the critical need to understand the behavior of ice shelves in the face of warmer oceans and the potential implications for rising sea levels. The research has significant implications for understanding the potential impact of glacier fracture on rising sea levels and calls for further investigation into the behavior of ice shelves in large-scale ice sheet models.
