Antartica is in the Southern Hemisphere and any Tsunamis or Rogue Waves will stop at the Equator.
Can't promise anyone down under or below the Equator that they're going to be safe so put on Yer Mae West.

Thwaites Glacier — otherwise known as the “Doomsday glacier,” due to the fact it could raise the sea level by several feet — is allegedly hanging on “by its fingernails.”
Scientists discovered that the glacier’s underwater base has been eroding due to the increase in the Earth’s temperature, according to a study published in Nature Geoscience.
“Thwaites is really holding on today by its fingernails,” said Robert Larter, a marine geophysicist who co-authored the study.
“And we should expect to see big changes over small timescales in the future — even from one year to the next — once the glacier retreats beyond a shallow ridge in its bed.”
West Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier is roughly the size of Florida and could potentially raise the sea level by nearly 16 feet should it fall into the ocean, which scientists predicted could happen within the next three years.
Researchers have monitored the glacier’s recession since “as recently as the mid-20th century,” according to lead author Alastair Graham, and have recorded a disintegration rate of nearly double since the last decade.
Earlier this year, an international group of scientists attempted to study the glacier in an effort to help stop the erosion, however, the group was thwarted by a chunk of ice from the doomed glacier.
Graham stated that it “was truly a once-in-a-lifetime mission” and he hopes that the team will be able to return to the glacier soon — since scientists believed the erosion was working at a slower pace before the study was published.

Antarctic glaciers aren’t melting from Global Warming from “underneath.” Volcanoes are melting it from underneath.
Idiots.
More Chicken Little woketard warnings!
Somebody tell these “scientists” that glaciers don’t have fingernails. What do they intend to do to stop it anyway? Set up giant AC units powered by windmills and solar panels. ROTFL! Maybe King Chuck will sell the family jewels to save da planet. On a lighter environmentalist note, can you believe the fix we would be in if those buff hunters back in the 1800s didn’t take care of those million and millions of buffalo roaming around this joint? Buff hunters were the first environmentalists.
Here’s the part I find very hard to understand.. This could raise sea levels by 16’ within the next 3 years.
But no one is doing anything about this except a group of guys who tried to get close to it and were thwarted by a chunk of ice.
Somehow I don’t think the world community accepts this premise.
LOL there ya go. Or fill up that lake where all the mob bodies are being found.
If so, Michelle and Baraq will not be happy.
If i were them, I would sell both beach homes.
5.56mm
Another news report on line said the oceans would raise TEN FEET if the glacier breaks away.
That means both Biden, Obama and Gore’s homes will be under water at high tides.
If they are not worried why should I worry!
I’m not buying this melting glacier crap. I haven’t seen one story where they found a body in a 55 gallon drum thrown in the glacier by the Neanderthal mob.
A glacier floating on the ocean has already displaced exactly the amount of water that will be produced when it breaks off and melts. The sea level change will be zero. This story does not pass the test of a high school physics class.

It Thwaites its turn.
Climate change artists hit hardest.
She needs to turn off msnbc
THIS is the main reason I don’t live in West Antarctica.
That, and the mosquitoes. ;)
I’m scared. I have to do something. If I cruise down there with some ice trays to fill in the cracks, will that do any good? I’d take an icemaker but there doesn’t seem to be electricity service to plug it in. I’m in a quandary here.
Grant money for global swarming should be administered Squid Game style. Period.
It puts the lotion on its skin!
I’ll believe it when the grifters Bath House Barry and Big Mike sell their ocean front property.
