🔆 Key Glaciers of Antarctica: Features & Significance ✅ Lambert Glacier (East Antarctica): • World’s largest glacier by volume and length (over 400 km long). • Flows into the Amery Ice Shelf. • Vital for studying ice dynamics and climate change. • Major drainage outlet for the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. ✅ Pine Island Glacier (West Antarctica): • Rapidly thinning and retreating glacier. • Part of the Amundsen Sea Embayment. • Key contributor to global sea-level rise. • Monitored closely for ice sheet instability. ✅ Thwaites Glacier (West Antarctica): • Known as the “Doomsday Glacier” for its potential to cause sea-level rise. • Melting rapidly due to warm ocean currents. • Critical for understanding future sea-level changes. • Subject of extensive international research collaborations. #glaciers #antarctica #climatechange #sealevelrise
