The Thwaites glacier, dubbed the "doomsday glacier" for the potential domino effect should it collapse, holds enough water on its own to raise sea level by 65 centimetres and is already responsible for 4 per cent of current sea level rise. A MASSIVE iceberg that got stuck and was helping to slow the loss of floating ice from the Thwaites glacier in West Antarctica has come free. Huge iceberg breaks away from "doomsday glacier".
