Icefin Robot at Thwaites Grounding Zone (VIDEO)
Caption
The first-ever visit to the grounding zone of Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica. The grounding line just behind it is an integral factor in the glacier's stability or lack thereof. It is tied to the fate of global sea-levels. At top, the glacier, at bottom, the seafloor.
