With the potential to cause sea levels across the planet to rise, it's no wonder the Thwaites Glacier has earned the nickname the 'Doomsday Glacier.' With the potential to cause seas across the planet to rise, it's no wonder the Thwaites Glacier has earned the nickname the 'Doomsday Glacier' The Thwaites Glacier is roughly 74.5 miles across - the same size as Great Britain or Florida - making it the widest glacier on the planet The Thwaites Glacier is roughly 74.5 miles across - the same size as Great Britain or Florida. The Thwaites Glacier is roughly 74.5 miles across - the same size as Great Britain or Florida - making it the widest glacier on the planet Researchers from the British Antarctic Survey used underwater robots to take new measurements of the glacier, which is the same size as Great Britain The Doomsday Glacier The Thwaites glacier currently measures 74,131 square miles – around the same size as Great Britain. The collapse of the Thwaites Glacier would cause an increase of global sea level of between one and two metres, with the potential for more than twice that from the entire West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
