English: On November 22, 2017 the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired a true-color image of a cluster of icebergs adrift in the South Atlantic Ocean. Each of these icebergs are fragments of larger ‘bergs and have been dubbed B09F, C28B, B15T, and B15Z, each name representing the location they were first seen, the relative time of first identification, and the fragment number.
These icebergs originated in different locations – B09, B15T, and B15Z were first seen in the Amundsen/Eastern Ross Sea while C28B originated in the Western Ross Sea/Wilkesland area. Although the origins were different, they have been travelling together and drifting slowly westward and northward with the currents in the Southern Ocean. The same cluster of icebergs was located south of the Orkney Islands on October 20, 2017. As of November 22, they had drifted more than 100 miles (161 km) to the west, nearing the outer reaches of the South Shetland Islands. |
