Totten Glacier Found to be Largely floating on Warming Ocean
More of one of Antarctica's largest and most important glaciers is floating on top of the ocean than previously thought, researchers say, which could have a significant impact on the rise of global sea levels.
The new research from the Australian Antarctic Program has found the Totten Glacier, located in the southern continent's east, could be affected more by warming ocean temperatures because more of the glacier is directly in contact with the ocean, and much less is sitting on rock than originally thought.
