Program experts discovered a rare rectangular iceberg discovered on Dec. 16 by experts from the Nasa (US Space Agency) Polar Observing Program during an overflight of the Antarctic capital.
The lead author of the discovery, Jeremy Harbeck, observed the icy block of sharp angles that were floating in the sea ice just off the Larsen C platform, NASA said in a statement.
As IceBridge's operations manager also said, I often see pieces of ice with relatively straight edges, but I have not really seen them before with two corners at right angle like this one.
Larsen C, who published in July 2017 the huge A68, a document the size of the US state of Delaware.
In fact, I was more interested. by capturing the A68 iceberg on which we were going to fly, but I thought this rectangular jelly mbad was visually interesting and quite photogenic, so at least I took some pictures, Harbeck said.
Operation IceBridge, which lasts five weeks, is designed to evaluate, between October 10 and November 18, the evolution of the ice height of several glaciers flowing in the Larsen A ice, B and C of Antarctica.
