As noted, the Larsen Ice Shelf consisted of three large glaciers - A, B and C. Now the last of the remaining has broken away - Larsen C.
In June, the split reached 13 kilometers from the edge of the glacier.
According to scientists, over the development of the ice crack on the shelf, they observed for ten years.
So, the split began to expand actively in 2014.
Scientists also believe that the fault is most likely triggered by climate change. Over the past 50 years, the temperature in the south-west of the Antarctic, on the Antarctic Peninsula, has increased by 2.5 degrees.
Recall, as reported by "URA-Inform", earlier to the Canadian island of Newfoundland was hit by a giant iceberg. According to experts, the ice block is higher than the one that stood in the way of the Titanic in 1912.
