Seems like this thing has been threatening to break off for about ten years now.
This will be the third one to break off. This is Larson C. Larson A & B already went.
Per the article:
“It’s possible that Larsen C will follow in the same footsteps as Larsen B, which disintegrated in 2002 after a similar rifting event, according the Project MIDAS blog. The Larsen A Ice Shelf disintegrated in 1995.”
i appreciate the warning.
I will now stay clear of the ocean around Antarctica, and tell my family to do the same.
