Summary
[edit]DescriptionPine Island Glacier (11418625906).jpg |
Pine Island Glacier — Last month it was discovered that a large iceberg had recently separated from the calving front of Antarctica’s Pine Island Glacier. The January 2011 Landsat satellite imagery (not shown) showed a series of splits along the western edge of the glacier. The same area in January 2012 (not shown) showed a major break, and the November 13, 2013 (above) image shows that the new iceberg (Iceberg B-31) has broken off and is moving away from the coast. Pine Island is one of the largest and fastest moving glaciers in Antarctica. Satellite measurements have shown that the Pine Island Glacier Basin has a greater net contribution of ice to the sea than any other ice drainage basin in the world. Iceberg B-31 is estimated to be 35 kilometers by 20 kilometers (21 by 12 miles), roughly the size of Singapore, about 50 percent larger than previous icebergs in this area. |
