Why Antarctica's Thwaites glacier is so "terrifying"
WIRED's January cover story is taking readers to Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier. The race to understand Antarctica's most terrifying glacier looks at the science being used to understand the giant glacier and hopefully slow it's collapse. Jon Gertner is the author of that article, as well as the book "The Idea Factory: Bells Labs and the Great Age of American Innovation." His second book about the melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet is due out in summer. He joined CBSN AM with more.
