Fears are growing about the potential collapse of Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier", a massive ice sheet that is melting rapidly. The glacier's collapse could severely impact coastal cities worldwide due to rising sea levels. Scientists have recently detected hundreds of earthquakes on the continent. According to a new study, a vast number of tremors were recorded in Antarctica between 2010 and 2023, mostly at the ocean end of the Thwaites Glacier, which is roughly the size of Great Britain.

Glacial earthquakes are a unique type of earthquake that occurs in cold, icy regions. First discovered in the Northern Hemisphere over two decades ago, these tremors occur when huge chunks of ice break off from glaciers and fall into the sea. Until now, only a very few have been found in Antarcti
