Antarctica’s coastal glaciers are shedding icebergs more rapidly than nature can replenish the crumbling ice, doubling previous estimates of losses from the world’s largest ice sheet over the past 25 ...

The losses measured from calving outpaced natural ice shelf replenishment so greatly that researchers found it unlikely Antarctica can return to pre-2000 glacier levels by the end of this century.

NPR's Sacha Pfeiffer speaks with glaciologist Erin Pettit about her research on the Thwaites Glacier, a bellwether ice shelf that could fail in the next five years and accelerate global sea rise.
