A crack in an Antarctica's Larsen C ice shelf birthed one of the largest icebergs ever recorded, scientists announced Wednesday morning. "The calving of this iceberg leaves the Larsen C Ice Shelf ...

Scientists announced Wednesday that a much anticipated break at the Larsen C ice shelf in Antarctica has occurred, unleashing a massive iceberg that is more than 2,200 square miles in area and ...

There's a giant crack in Antarctica's Larsen C ice shelf that's growing at an alarming rate. Now, scientists think they have the answer, and it points to a much bigger problem. Before 2014 ...

”Larsen C may eventually follow the example of its neighbor Larsen B, which disintegrated in 2002 following a similar rift-induced calving event.” The long-growing crack in the Larsen C ice ...

The new study, published in the Journal of Glaciology, may help explain how the Larsen B Ice Shelf abruptly collapsed in 2002. In the months before its catastrophic breakup, thousands of meltwater ...

According to the researchers who for years have studied the ice shelf, known as Larsen C, the rift was almost certainly not caused by climate change. But that didn’t stop irresponsible advocates ...
