Cccccrrrrraaaaaackkkkk!!!!
Scientists say that rising global temperatures had nothing to do with the iceberg calving incident., scientists detected new growth in Chasm-1, a crack in the ice shelf that was long considered dormant. Scientists have been monitoring Chasm-1 closely in the years since, anticipating a future break.
"[The iceberg] calved after cracks that have been developing naturally over the last few years extended across the entire ice shelf," reads aby the British Antarctic Survey , which captured images of the event, "causing the new iceberg to break free." "This calving event has been expected and is part of the natural behavior of the Brunt Ice Shelf," said BAS glaciologist Dominic Hodgson in the statement. "It is not linked to climate change."
