Iceberg the Size of Delaware Breaks Off Larsen C Ice Shelf
Scientists report a massive iceberg named A68 has fractured from the Larsen C shelf in Antarctica. The 2,200 square mile mass weighs about three trillion tons and could raise global sea levels by up to three millimeters if added to the ocean, though it is already afloat. Researchers from Project MIDAS warn the break shrinks the shelf by about 12 percent and may destabilize the remaining ice, with future movement likely to fragment the iceberg or drift into warmer waters.
