Scientists failed to drill the deepest hole into Antarctica’s ‘doomsday glacier’: What went wrong at the final step
A high-risk mission to Thwaites Glacier, Antarctica's "doomsday glacier," faced setbacks as instruments became trapped deep within the ice. Despite drilling over 3,300 feet and collecting crucial data on warm ocean currents causing melting, the attempt to install long-term monitoring equipment failed. Researchers emphasize the mission's scientific value, confirming fears of the glacier's instability.
