The sudden drainage of subglacial lakes could play a role in destabilising the Antarctic ice sheet, a new study reveals.

The research, which was part of the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration, sheds new light on the influence of subglacial hydrology on one of Antarctica’s most unstable glaciers. 


Today, 21 March 2025, the spotlight is being shined on glaciers on the first UN World Day for Glaciers. 

2025 is also the International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation; a global campaign to highlight how melting glaciers are affecting our planet. The movement encourages us all to act to preserve the vital role of glaciers in sustaining life on Earth for generations to come.
