Iceberg larger than London breaks off Antarctica ice shelf
A new iceberg that is larger than the size of Greater London broke off of Antarctica's Brunt Ice Shelf
A new iceberg that was larger than the size of Greater London has broken off of Antarctica's Brunt Ice Shelf near the British Antarctic Survey's (BAS) Halley Research station.
According to scientists, cracks had been developing over the last few years across the entire, nearly 500-foot-thick ice shelf.
The iceberg eventually separated when the crack known as Chasm-1 fully extended, the BAS said in a release.
