Retreating Glacier and Climate Change

This diagram illustrates a massive glacier steadily retreating from land into the sea. Below the glacier's floating edge, warm ocean currents are visible, flowing inwards and melting the ice from beneath. This interaction weakens the glacier, leading to the calving of icebergs and contributing significantly to glacial shrinkage and rising sea levels, a direct consequence of a changing climate.
