NASA warning as Glacier Twice the size of New York City is about to Collapse
NASA has said, a huge iceberg is expected to form off the shore of Antarctica as an ice shelf is in the process of cracking. The ice shelf is double the shape of New York City. The Brunt Ice Shelf bulges out into the Weddell Sea south of South America's Cape Horn. There are two rifts that will in the long run lead to the break-off. It originally showed up in late October 2016 and keeps on developing eastbound from a region known as the McDonald Ice Rumples. The more quick concern is the rift noticeable in the focal point of the picture. Beforehand stable for around 35 years, this split as of late began quickening northward as quick as 4 kilometers for every year. As per the announcement, the ice shelf that could be shaped because of the converging of the rifts would be of a region of 1709.39 square kilometers. That would be more than double the size of New York City, which measures around 782.176 square kilometers. The iceberg is very enormous by the Antarctic or polar standards, says NASA. However, it might be the biggest berg to part from the Brunt Ice Shelf since perceptions started in 1915," it notes.
