Once three-and-a-half times bigger than London, the enormous A68 iceberg has now disintegrated into an ‘alphabet soup’ of individual fragments drifting in the ocean north of Antarctica, a NASA satellite photo revealed. The image, taken by the so-called Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer onboard NASA’s ‘Terra’ Earth-observing satellite on February 12, shows that the giant berg has split into … Read more
