Researchers say a massive cavity the size of two-thirds of Manhattan was found under a glacier in Antarctica. The pocket is a sign of "rapid decay" and just one of "several disturbing discoveries" made recently regarding the glacier, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory said in a news release Wednesday.
"[The size of] a cavity under a glacier plays an important role in melting," said Pietro Milillo of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "As more heat and water get under the glacier, it melts faster."
The growing cavity sits in West Antarctica at the bottom of Thwaites Glacier, which is about as big as Florida and contains enough ice to contribute more than 2 feet to sea level rise, NASA said. It is growing at an "explosive" rate that surprised researchers conducting a study the agency led on the glacier.

Did Nancy Pelosi go skin-diving there?
I’ll bet if we(America) pay more taxes, it’ll be okay.
Ok the UFO left because of Global Warming and left it’s hole ,LOL
Heard he is prepping for his announcement to throw is hat in the ring.
It’s the new data center for Hillary 2020.
Is there anything global warming can’t do?
Gosh, weren’t we told we have to have volcanic activity to combat the climate change ??? Where is the problem ???
Fire those Obama holdovers at NASA
A few weeks ago they were telling us about active volcanoes under the ice.
The hole wasn’t there in 2016. Al Gore has sworn depositions from a dozen penguins attesting to that. He will hand them to Adam Schiff as evidence in the impeachment process against President Trump. If destroying Mother Earth isn’t a high crime and misdemeanor, what would be?
Yeah, well that's just your opinion, man.
Maybe the volcanoes are caused by global warming too, didja ever think of that?
And the cure is to tax carbon?
[/s]
It repaired itself just like this will.
Jeez, just when I thought that NASA was cleaning up its act. They have to go recruit and put on the payroll foreign idiots such as this Pietro Milillo to help them promote various forms of alarmism.
We’re not buying the crap anymore, NASA.
I want active volcanos and I want them yesterday
I used to remember the number but there are quite a few active volcanoes in Antartica.
I can’t sleep any longer ror the fear of it...
Maybe that’s the portal of hell all the democrats crawled out of.
