You know what's really scary?
Global ice loss due to climate change.
The polar ice sheets have together lost ice in every year of the satellite record, and the seven highest melting years have occurred in the last decade.

🤔 What does the lifecycle of a mega iceberg look like?
🔎 What do scientists understand from them?
📝 How do they get their names?
Dive in to this article from BBC Future, with BAS scientists Geraint Tarling, Roseanne Smith and Peter Fretwell👇
Paper in GRL today with
@carmenjulianab
where we:
(a) reflect on how to evaluate
@esa_cryosat
sea ice thickness retrievals with ULS moorings
(b) show that thickness anomalies from climatology are better captured with partial radar penetration of the snow
