"[The size of] a cavity under a glacier plays an important role in melting," said Pietro Milillo of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
There's someone who can be put on permanent furlough, with no fill-behind.

TWO FEET TO SEA LEVEL....?!?

The Earth is 70% ocean surface. We’ll say 66% (two-thirds) for easy math. We can ignore that ice gets smaller when it melts. We’ll also assume all this ice is above sea level, otherwise the melting would actually make sea levels fall slightly.

This means, there is enough ice in this glacier (above sea level), to cover the entire land of Earth with just over four feet of ice!
