Scientists call it the Day of Judgment Glacier.
This is partly because the UK-sized glacier Thaiites in West Antarctica are melting at an alarming rate: it is retreating about half a mile (2,625 feet) each year. Scientists estimate that glaciers will lose all their ice in about 200 to 600 years. When it does, it will Extend about 1.6-2 feet above sea level (0.5 m).
But sea level rise will not stop there. The nickname for thyroiditis is usually derived from what happens after it melts.
