Sir David Attenborough research ship prepares for second voyage to Antarctica

The video discusses the concept of tipping points, focusing on the West Antarctic ice sheet, which could cause significant global sea level rise if it melts. A major UK-US research project is studying the Thwaites Glacier to understand climate change impacts. The melting of Antarctic ice has global consequences, potentially affecting sea levels worldwide. Current sea ice concentration data is also briefly mentioned.
