A state-of-the-art robot to note the melting of the "Qiyamat Glacier" is ready.

Antarctica: In West Antarctica, a huge glacier named Thwaites continues to melt and people called its destruction a great tragedy. Now a robot is ready to carry out this meltdown.

This robot has been named 'Icefin' while experts believe that its melting has had negative effects on the planet. But the melting process in this glacier is very high, which was recently published in the form of two research papers in the journal Nature.

This glacier is larger than the city of Florida, but understanding its rate of melting is crucial. Subsurface ice melt is accelerating, but still slower and slightly lower than our scientific predictions and models.
The ice fin has been developed by American experts and is currently floating below the McMurdo Research Station. Ice fins have revealed that melting between the crevasses and slopes of the glacier continues at a rapid pace, but the ice beneath the ice sheet is melting less.

Experts are worried that the ice is melting from the flat parts of the glacier, while the rate of melting is much higher on the slopes and ridges. Then there is a grounding zone of the glacier where it meets the water and its volume has reduced by 14 km compared to 1990.

According to experts, it is now impossible to compensate for this loss and in the next centuries the total disappearance of the Thwaites Glacier could lead to a global sea level rise of 1.64.
