Sea Level Rise Concerns Emerge

Hektoria Glacier retreated 8 km and disintegrated 50% between Nov-Dec 2022.
Flat bedrock allowed glacier to float, triggering rapid calving.
Satellite and seismic data linked glacier earthquakes to rapid retreat.
Research warns conditions could accelerate sea level rise.
