The world’s largest iceberg is on the move again, drifting through the Southern Ocean after months stuck spinning on the same spot, scientists from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) have said.
The rate at which the Antarctic ice sheet is losing mass is accelerating [7] and the past and ongoing acceleration of ice streams and outlet glaciers is considered to be a significant, if not the dominant cause of this recent imbalance. [5] Ice streams hold serious implications for sea level rise as 90% of Antarctica's ice mass is lost through ...
