In addition, much less precipitation than usual had fallen in the previous winter, so the glacier lacked an insulating layer of snow as protection against the sun and the high temperatures. Reinhold Messner saw the accident as a consequence of climate change: "In recent years, a lake has repeatedly emerged on the tongue of the glacier. And this ...
The William Glacier in Antarctica partially collapsed in the same week as Antarctica's hottest recorded day at 65 degrees Fahrenheit.
Scientists have looked back in time to reconstruct the past life of Antarctica’s “Doomsday Glacier.” Their findings give an alarming insight into future melting
Sep. 19—From wild pine martens hitching rides to hoverboarders on the lake, Glacier National Park's rangers have been busy. Join Daily Inter Lake reporter Taylor Inman as she dives into recent ...
As the compressed snow turned to ice, the wreckage would have been incorporated into the body of the glacier, with fragments emerging many years later and much further down the mountain. Between 1998 and 2000, about ten per cent of the total expected wreckage emerged from the glacier, prompting several re-examinations of the accident.

Researchers said the entire glacier holds enough water to raise sea levels by more than 2 feet. "Doomsday glacier" ice shelf could shatter within 5 years, scientists say Skip to main content
Subglacial eruptions, those of ice-covered volcanoes, result in the interaction of magma with ice and snow, leading to meltwater formation, jökulhlaups, and lahars. Flooding associated with meltwater is a significant hazard in some volcanic areas, including Iceland , Alaska , and parts of the Andes .
