Hundreds of hidden earthquakes detected at Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier

Seismic analysis reveals 245 previously undetected earthquakes near the Doomsday Glacier, linked to faster ice flow toward the ocean.

245 previously undetected earthquakes found near Thwaites Glacier's marine edge, mostly caused by calving icebergs.
Seismic surge occurred during period of accelerated glacier flow toward the ocean.
Findings suggest changing ocean conditions may be destabilizing one of Antarctica's largest ice sheets.

“Many appear to be glacial earthquakes caused when huge icebergs break off, capsize, and collide with the glacier.”
