Antarctic Iceberg Breaks Up Ice Sheet

Visualizations by Stuart A. Snodgrass Released on January 18, 2005

The B-15A iceberg has collided into a neighboring ice sheet. This collision has caused the ice sheet to break up into smaller parts. The B-15A iceberg has been blocking shipping lanes and the feeding grounds of 3,000 Adele penguins, for over 4 years.
