The research published in Nature Communications found that in the past, when ocean temperatures around Antarctica became more layered -
with a warm layer of
water below a cold surface layer - ice sheets and
glaciers melted much faster than when the cool and warm layers mixed more easily.
I suppose that as the under side of the
glacier melts, the resulting fresh
water mixes
with the adjacent salt
water, making it lighter and causing it to flow upwards along the under side of the ice.
In fact, researchers found that Alaska's
glaciers are melting so fast that they would cover the state
