Massive Rift in Antarctic Ice Shelf Spotted in NASA Photograph | Coastal Restoration | Scoop.it
A massive rift in the Antarctica has been spotted by NASA, but the troubling details about the rift is causing the agency to worry. The ice shelf in Larsen C that is close to breaking off is as big as the size of Delaware.
Lauren Wilson's insight:
Look out, rising sea levels on the way. With a crack this big, it'd be optimistic to hope this chunk doesn't break off. However, if and when it does, we're talking about huge sea level waters rising, and flooding of major cities.

Oh no, let's hope it doesn't occur because many people would have to be climate change refugees.
