Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | The torch of the Statue of Liberty would not quite peek out of the deepest points of the crevasse currently opening up across the Pine Island Glacier ice shelf in Antarctica. This image is based on data from the Airborne Topographic Mapper (ATM), which flew over the rift on NASA's DC-8 on Oct. 26, 2011 as part of NASA's Operation IceBridge. The ice shelf hasn't calved a major iceberg since 2001, and IceBridge took advantage of the opportunity afforded by spotting the crack to fly over and make detailed measurements. The scale at the bottom was taken from one of the rift's widest single points. For much of the line the DC-8 flew over it, the crevasse was about 80 meters wide. It of course is changing all the time. Credit: Kyle Krabill/NASA/ATM |
