More than a decade ago, scientists watched in awe as Antarctica’s Larsen B Ice Shelf shattered almost completely in just six weeks. No one had ever seen such a large mass of ice vanish so quickly.

The last remaining section of Antarctica's Larsen B ice shelf, which partially collapsed in 2002, is quickly weakening and likely to disintegrate completely by 2020, said a new study out today ...

The disintegration of the Larsen A shelf in 1995 and of the Larsen B shelf in 2002 were preceded by landfall of these plumes, called atmospheric rivers, from the Pacific Ocean.

Peter Lea Climate change On one level, it is part of the natural order of things for ice shelves like Larsen C, and Larsen B (which broke away in 2002), to separate from the mainland, said Lea, so we ...

2002 Larsen B ice shelf collapse likely due to rising temps Examination of the seafloor reveals details of the ice's history.

They warned that this event would leave the ice shelf less stable and at risk of following the same fate as Larsen A and B, the latter of which disintegrated in 2002 after a large iceberg broke away.

The Larsen C ice shelf is 217 miles thick and sits at the edge of West Antarctica, holding back the flow of glaciers feeding into it.

Only 8 miles remain until the crack in the Larsen C Ice Shelf breaks through, producing an iceberg about the size of the state of Delaware.

In 2002, NASA released dramatic images that showed a portion of Antarctica's Larsen B ice shelf collapse and disappear. Now, the space agency says what's left of the massive feature will be gone ...

The collapse of the Larsen B was a surprise—and we want to minimize surprises.
