That’s because the ice shelf is losing its grip on an underwater mountain about 30 miles offshore, which acts like a dam, holding back the rest of the glacier. But soon that dam will break and the ice shelf will shatter into icebergs. 📸:Karen Alley 5/9 https://t.co/sUUkvcDx9Z — PolitiTweet.org

Without a cohesive ice shelf holding it back, the ice sheet on land will accelerate its own seaward march, as well as that of its neighbors. In essence, as Thwaites loses mass and flows more quickly into the ocean, it will pull nearby glaciers with it. 6/9 — PolitiTweet.org
