Massive iceberg breaks off from Antarctica

A giant iceberg, larger than the size of most European cities, has broken away from Antarctica. Scientists had been expecting a huge chunk of ice to break away for almost a decade after the first "vast cracks" had formed.

Large Antarctic Ice Shelf is about to break apart

The iceberg, measuring over 1,500 square kilometers is expected to break away from the Brunt Ice Shelf within the next few months. The rifting started several years ago and is now approaching its final phase.
