The crack is spreading across the Larsen C Ice Shelf at an increased rate, threatening to carve out an iceberg the size of Delaware while destabilizing a larger area of ice roughly the size of ...

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 ...

The breakup of the massive Larsen C Ice Shelf in Antarctica is getting closer and will eventually produce an iceberg the size of Delaware prowling the Southern Ocean, according to new NASA data.

NASA is on a mission to collect as much information as it can about the Larsen C ice shelf and its new A-68 iceberg. When A-68 broke off of Larsen C earlier this year, it was a historic event.

A-68a was sliced off from Antarctica's Larsen C ice shelf in July 2017. The iceberg made up 12 percent of the entire ice shelf, amassing a surface area of 5,800 square kilometers (2,200 square miles).

An ice shelf is the floating extension of a glacier that itself grows from the land out into the ocean. The loss of a large iceberg from Larsen C would not raise the sea level, since the ice is ...

According to the researchers who for years have studied the ice shelf ... the iceberg is already afloat and displacing its own weight in seawater.” Some researchers think that Larsen C may ...

The research expedition to the Larsen C Ice Shelf is funded by the Natural Environment Research Council, NERC. The giant iceberg known as A68, which is four times the size of London, calved off ...

The animation shows iceberg A-68 - the third-largest in human history - breaking off and floating away from the Larsen C ice shelf. In July, a huge crack in Antarctica's Larsen C ice shelf calved ...

You can see a huge crack in the Larsen C ice shelf creep north until the iceberg completely breaks off, then follow the path it has taken since. "Over the last year A-68 has not drifted far ...
