Headline: Thwaites Glacier Could Largely Disappear by 23rd Century, Raising Sea Levels by 3.3 Meters
Caption: Experts warn that Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier, which is the size of Great Britain, may largely disappear by the 23rd century, Sky News reports. Currently, the glacier contributes 8% to global sea level rise, equivalent to 4.6mm per year, due to its rapid melting. Ice loss at Thwaites Glacier is expected to accelerate, potentially leading to the collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet by the next century.
