The Totten Glacier is the East Antiracist's largest outlet of ice to the ocean and has been thinning very fast over the past several years. Now, there is warm water running through the middle of the glacier causing it to melt faster. This could cause major problems because there is enough ice to cause the ocean to rise to nearly 11 feet. The glacier is near its tipping point and unless atmospheric and oceanic conditions change, the damage will be irreversible. The snowfall isn't sufficient enough to compensate for the costal ice tjay is melting off. Much of the interior basin lays under sea level, which makes the above part of the glacier more susceptible to melt.
Articles like this one are starting to become way to common. Global warming is obviously becoming very prominent and causing many problems throughout the world. The Totten Glacier is melting faster than it can rebuild itself due to the increased temperatures of the atmosphere and ocean. Hopefully, more people will began to realize that there is a major epidemic at hand and it needs to be dealt with soon.
