NASA scientists are observing the Brunt Ice Shelf in Antarctica, the place they anticipate an iceberg round twice the dimensions of New York Metropolis to quickly break off. The iceberg is predicted to be about twice the dimensions of New York Metropolis, in keeping with NASA scientists, who’ve noticed cracks rising throughout the ice shelf in recent times.When that rift makes its method towards the opposite crack, an estimated 660 sq. miles of ice will break from the shelf, scientists warned. They stated that whereas that most definitely would not make the “high 20 checklist” of Antarctica’s greatest icebergs, “it might be the most important berg to interrupt from the Brunt Ice Shelf since observations started in 1915.
