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.

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 ...

A rift is extending farther across the Larsen C ice shelf in Antarctica, threatening to set in motion the collapse of the entire shelf. A large rift is widening across an increasingly fragile ...

The giant crack that's been racing across Antarctica Larsen C ice shelf finally met its breaking point between July 10 and 12. The result was an iceberg the size of Delaware and weighing a ...

”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 ...

The Prince Gustav Channel Ice Shelf and neighboring Larsen A Ice Shelf collapsed in 1995. We’ll be sampling deeper than we planned at Larsen C – down to 1000 meters – so we’re excited ...
