Rare Sea Smoke and Streaming Snow Phenomena Captured Near Pine Island Glacier
- Friday November 1, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
In October 2024, Pine Island Glacier displayed unusual atmospheric phenomena, including rare sea smoke and blowing snow. Captured by NASA's Landsat 8, these events were visible due to clear skies. Strong winds pushed warmer water to the surface, creating sea smoke, while blowing snow from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet influenced the glacier’s land...

Warm Water Headed Towards East Antarctic Ice Sheet Might Accelerate Global Sea-Level Rise
- Thursday August 4, 2022
- Edited by Gadgets 360 Newsdesk
A recent study has revealed that warmer water in the ocean is moving towards the East Antarctic ice sheets and is likely to accelerate the rise in global sea level. This, according to experts, will damage the marine life and threaten human coastal settlements.

Antarctica Warming Could Fuel Disastrous Sea-Level Rise, Study Finds
- Friday September 21, 2018
- Science | Chris Mooney, The Washington Post
Temperatures not much warmer than the planet is experiencing now were sufficient to melt a major part of the East Antarctic ice sheet in Earth's past, scientists reported Wednesday, including during one era about 125,000 years ago when sea levels were as much as 20 to 30 feet higher than they are now
