New Iceberg
In this image, taken by the Suomi NPP satellite, a new iceberg is seen detaching from Antarctica’s Larsen C ice shelf. About the size of Delaware, the iceberg broke off sometime between July 10 and July 12. Scientists have been monitoring that crack in the shelf for years, but only recently did it accelerate and extend northward causing the iceberg to break away.
