The photographs show that the iceberg began to disintegrate into two parts because of the constant movement.

As representatives of the agency note, the first photos were received only in the middle of September this year.

According to observations, the iceberg A-68 initially "staggered" in place, moving back and forth, because of what it split in half.

Finally, experts noted that before that, the iceberg had to be studied using only radar and infrared imagery. This was due to the polar night that reigned in the Antarctic.

Recall, as previously reported in "URA-Inform", NASA published information on how the hurricane formed the maximum fifth category, "Maria".
