Storms Are Supercharging the Doomsday Glacier

Turns out, there’s a new villain melting Antarctica’s infamous Doomsday Glacier: fast-moving winds called low-level jets (LLJs). Scientists just found these winds are way more common—and get way stronger—when storms roll through. Why does it matter? These winds can push warm water under the ice, speeding up melting and raising sea levels. Basically, more storms = faster glacier meltdown. It’s another reminder that climate change is making wild weather even wilder, and the stakes are huge for coastal cities everywhere. #ClimateChange #Antarctica #DoomsdayGlacier #Science
