Hastening glacial melt.. [View all]



That 'waterfall' scared the bejesus right out of me.

When glacial melt water pools on top of glaciers, eventually that water will find its way through cracks in the glacier that lead to growing holes in the glacier that leads to the glacier weakening, breaking off, and floating away to melt faster, which continues to cause sea rise etc..

If the worlds glaciers melt, its game over for all life in the northern hemisphere and perhaps all life on earth.
