The Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellite mission is monitoring the growing crack in Antarctica’s Larsen-C ice shelf. When the ice shelf breaks off or ‘calves’, it will create one of the largest icebergs ever recorded – but exactly how long this will take is difficult to predict.

This animation demonstrates how scientists analyse radar data from Sentinel-1 to monitor the crack. This includes combining radar images to create an ‘interferogram’. Learn more: http://www.esa.int/spaceinimages/Images/2017/04/Larsen-C_crack_interferogram

    Amazing observations. So it's due to a warming of air and sea water?
    Thanks for sharing all this science.

    When it does break off will it cause a tsunami wave?

    Thank you for explaining this crack in the Antarctic. Taxidermist going to have a heart attack when he sees the size of that iceberg!
