Rising global temperatures can trigger deadly tsunamis from Antarctica: Study

Increasing global climate change – including warmer waters, rising sea levels and shrinking ice sheets – can give rise to deadly tsunamis from Antarctica, warns a new study based on analysis of past underwater landslides in Antarctica. An international team of researchers, led by those from the University of Plymouth said that the future seismic events off the coast of Antarctica might again pose a risk of tsunami waves reaching the shores of South America, New Zealand and Southeast Asia.
