The world watched in wonder in July as a massive iceberg broke off the Larsen C ice
shelf in Antartica. The visuals of the dramatic event came to us courtesy of satellite images. Now, we have closer eyes on the A-68 iceberg thanks to NASA's Operation IceBridge mission.
NASA science writer Kathryn Hansen flew along with an Operation IceBridge plane as it soared over the Antarctic Peninsula on Nov. 12.
"A-68 is so expansive it appears if it were still part of the ice shelf," said Hansen in a blog post.. "But if you look far into the distance you can see a thin line of water between the iceberg and where the new front of the shelf begins." https://www.cnet.com/news/nasa-iceberg-antarctica-a-68-larsen-c-ice-shelf/
