Antarctica's Larsen C Ice Shelf Crack, Close to Breaking Off, Grows 17 More Miles
Oh myhiding


The crack, now more than 100 miles long, could lead to a complete separation of the Larsen C ice shelf.

Re: Antarctica's Larsen C Ice Shelf Crack, Close to Breaking Off, Grows 17 More Miles
Now the crack has crossed more than 100 miles in length and has only 20 miles left to touch the other end of the ice shelf.

Once the crack engulfs the entire ice shelf, the liberating ice chunk will be one of the largest ever documented, according to Project Midas, a research team that has been tracking the ice shelf's rift.

"The iceberg is likely to break free within the next few months," explained Adrian J. Luckman of Swansea University in Wales. He said the break-up is inevitable as the crack has moved up from the softer ice part to another.

Meanwhile, Martin O'Leary, research officer at Swansea University and a member of Project MIDAS also said the crack has exacerbated massively.

The study, published in Environmental Research Letters, looked at 33 islands using aerial and satellite imagery from 1947 to 2014, combined with historical insight and local knowledge.

It found that the archipelago had seen sea levels rise as much as as 10mm (0.4in) every year for the past two decades.

But you don’t have to wait 84-years to see the adverse effects of sea-level rise. Bolter said that in as little as 15 years, flooding in Belle Isle will grow much worse, especially at Island Terrace, a 16-story condo built in 1967. “It’s coming up not just at the sides,” she said while showing Lidar maps depicting future sea-level rise at Island Terrace and Belle Isle. “It comes up from underground.” That’s partly because the limestone that South Florida land is predominately made of us is extremely porous. Because of this, not even sea walls will stop the flow of water, Bolter added.

Another thing is this. I only have to drive to my coast line to see every chemical plant known to man on the coast. Every Nuclear Plant on the coast , I can not imagine what we may see in our life time, Fukushima will be nothing

We live below sealevel, we made it work! People will adapt.
I'm not worried about rising sealevels from this iceberg, it might mess with ocean salinity though.. hf
