Swirling underwater eddies are aggressively melting two Antarctic glaciers, a recent study found, including the one that could raise sea levels by multiple feet.

When ice freezes and melts, it creates vortices that drag warmer waters from the depths to the surface, where they eat away at the continent's rapidly degrading ice shelves.

In late April and early May, mainstream media outlets ran dozens of stories discussing the findings of a recent study that showed Antarctica’s ice mass was growing. The outlets called the ice and snow ...
