Larsen-C crack
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

Thank you now we can't say we didn't see it coming. Great information video I hope everyone likes and share
Please someone answer me something, now with decision of 2 cosmonauts only on board the station, why not a japanese and and european astronauts at the same time ?
so sad. our world is changing so fast because of climate change.
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!
