Picture of the enormous chunk of glacier which breaks off and falls into the water of the rift in Antarctica’s Larsen C Ice Shelf.
The rift in the Larsen C Ice Shelf became the fastest it has ever occurred and may tear the shelf and create one of the largest icebergs ever recorded. A piece of Antarctica will drift off to the ocean. The Antarctic Peninsula is one of the fastest warming places on Earth, which may contribute to sea level rise.
