![]() ![]() The researchers left Punta Arenas in Chile on October 10, and are expected to return on November 18. This panorama was edited together by NASA from two. ![]() 16, 2018, during a flight over the northern Antarctic Peninsula. The aerial survey is part of NASA's project "Operation IceBridge," which is designed to analyse changes in the polar ice and to understand how the polar regions are connected to the global climate. A rectangular tabular iceberg was photographed by Operation IceBridge on Oct. The massive floe is currently heading in the direction of the island of South Georgia. On Twitter, NASAs ICE team responsible for polar research posted a bizarre picture showing an iceberg that was almost a perfect rectangle. In July 2017, the same ice shelf released the enormous iceberg A68, which became famous because of its size - 175 kilometres long and 50 kilometres wide, making it roughly the same size as the US state of Delaware. The British Royal Air Force released photos of iceberg A68a on Friday. 381 Likes, 15 Comments - Arthur de Borman (arthurdeborman) on Instagram: NASA shared a image yesterday of a nearly perfect rectangular iceberg in. NASA did not say how large the iceberg was. The rectangulariceberg appeared to be freshly calved from Larsen C, which in July 2017released the massive A68 iceberg, a chunk of ice about the size of thestate of Delaware. ![]() The sharp edges show that the iceberg was freshly calved from the shelf ice known as Larsen C, the post on the website explained. Rectangular iceberg Image: picture-alliance/NASA/J. The iceberg sits like a giant floating traybake near the east coast of the Antarctic peninsula. It's an iceberg, shared online by NASA, that appears to be in the shape of a perfect rectangle with smooth, even walls, and 90-degree angles. "I thought it was pretty interesting I often see icebergs with relatively straight edges, but I've not really seen one before with two corners at such right angles like this one had," Harbeck said on NASA's website. In a world besieged by climate change -induced chaos and disruption, one satisfying image of order has emerged. In a different photo (above), Harbeck captured both the edge of the now-famous iceberg, and a slightly less rectangular iceberg. The so-called tabular iceberg was photographed by scientist Jeremy Harbeck and is notable for its unusually sharp edges, the US space agency said. The rectangular iceberg appeared to be freshly calved from Larsen C, which in July 2017 released the massive A68 iceberg, a chunk of ice about the size of the state of Delaware. ![]()
