Study says Thwaites' collapse is due to geothermal sources

And no wonder; there was no warming, actually there was cooling in Antarctica for the last few decades. It was down -0.4C from the 1980 starting point, at one time. I think that has recently reversed, but I haven't been keeping up with it in recent years. Most warming has happened in the Arctic.

Many of the glaciers in West Antarctica (what's west? It's north in any direction.) are sitting on land that's below sea level. So they melt from the bottom then more and more exposed to sea water.

Hey, think what would happen if a big old volcano popped up down there. Of course it would be a Left wing/Right wing/Russian/Socialist/North Korean/Muslim/Mossad plot.
