It’s sliding off the Continental shelf and into the sea. The floating part of Thwaites was extends about 30 miles over the sea. The part still on land mass is larger than the floating part. The floating part somewhat stabilizes the landbound part and the concern is that as the floating part melts (which it is), the land part will progress into the sea more rapidly.

It’s the part in the sea that breaks off.
No change.
