Larsen A, an ice shelf farther north on the peninsula, broke up in 1995. Larsen B broke up in 2002. Larsen C itself calved an even larger iceberg in 1986, Shuman said.

When we think of icebergs, what inevitably springs to mind is the image of an imposing ice mountain with irregular slopes and pointy peaks. When we think of icebergs, ...

An ice shelf is a large, floating chunk of ice attached to a nearby land mass, and Larsen C is just the latest on the frontline. Larsen A collapsed in 1995, and Larsen B collapsed in 2002.

The arm of NASA which documents ice tweeted an image of what is known as a "tabular iceberg" near the Larsen C ice shelf, off the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, on 17 October.

A remarkable rectangular iceberg with sharp edges and a smooth surface looks as if it were deliberately cut by a machine, but NASA scientists say it's a product of Mother Nature. The space ...

Larsen A was another ice shelf farther north on the peninsula that broke up in 1995. Larsen B broke up in 2002. Larsen C itself calved an even larger iceberg in 1986, Shuman said.

Scientists confirmed Wednesday morning an iceberg as big as Delaware has calved from the Larsen C ice shelf in Antarctica. This slab of ice is about 100 miles long, 30 miles wide, and 600 feet thick.

From yesterday's #IceBridge flight: A tabular iceberg can be seen on the right, floating among sea ice just off of the Larsen C ice shelf. The iceberg's sharp angles and flat surface indicate that ...

By Brian Kahn. Follow @blkahn. A rift has torn the Larsen C ice shelf asunder and now the outside edge of the ice is moving at an unprecedented pace. When it breaks off, it will become one of the ...

Last week, a chunk of ice 277 cubic miles in volume broke off of the Larsen C ice shelf in Antarctica, becoming an iceberg of more than mammoth proportions. How big is that really? Well, NASA ...

The Larsen C Ice Shelf in Antarctica is cut through by a growing rift, which stretches nearly 109 miles (175 kilometers) long, new satellite data has revealed.Already in 2017, the rift has grown ...

On July 12th, 2017, a deep fissure cleaved a 2,500-square-mile iceberg off of the Larsen-C ice shelf in Antarctica. Satellite images show the iceberg has drifted about three miles since it broke ...
