![]() ![]() Its an iceberg, shared online by NASA, that appears to be in the shape of a perfect rectangle with smooth, even walls, and 90-degree angles. I should think we will see some interesting collisions with the ice shelf in the next few months,” he added. In a world besieged by climate change -induced chaos and disruption, one satisfying image of order has emerged. “It has a spectacular amount of momentum and it’s not going to stop easily. “The weather conditions and ocean currents conspire to swing the trillion tonnes of the giant iceberg A68 in an anticlockwise direction,” Brandon wrote in a blog. However, it remained ‘stuck’ near the ice shelf.Īccording to Professor Mark Brandon, these icebergs will not stop moving easily and more geometrically shaped blocks will likely be seen in years to come. NASA NASA released new photos of the unnatural looking rectangular iceberg showing the full extent of the sheet cake like iceberg. That image also captures A68 in the distance. Another iceberg, A-68, broke off Antarctica’s Larsen C ice shelf. The too-good-to-be-true rectangular iceberg was spotted near the Larsen C, the Delaware-sized ice shelf famous for breaking off the Antarctic Peninsula in July 2017. Rectangular shaped iceberg found by NASA in Antarctica. NASA Found Bizarre Nearly-Perfect Rectangular Iceberg In Antarctica Monday OctoThe Inertia Distributor of Ideas Staff There are some strange things in nature. of the now-famous iceberg, and a slightly less rectangular iceberg. Last month, a trillion-ton iceberg, four times the size of London, started spinning and eventually broke free from the ice. The iceberg’s sharp angles and flat surface indicate that it probably recently calved from the ice shelf,” NASA told Metro UK. The rectangular iceberg appeared to be freshly calved from Larsen C, which in July 2017 released the massive A68 iceberg, a chunk of ice about the size of the state of Delaware. “A tabular iceberg can be seen on the right, floating among sea ice just off the Larsen C ice shelf. By Jessica Stewart on OctoImage taken during an Operation IceBridge flight over the northern Antarctic Peninsula on Oct. The prime objective of the operation is to observe how the ice changes over a period of time. ![]() The survey is part of an operation called ‘Operation IceBridge’ which will provide a 3D view of the ice at either end of the planet. According to Metro UK, the scientists are currently in Antarctica for an airborne survey of earth’s ice. ![]()
