Holy fucking shit!
A giant iceberg, covering approximately 5,800 km2 (2,200 sq mi), breaks away (separation pictured) from the Larsen C Ice Shelf in Antarctica.
"On 12 July 2017, Project MIDAS announced that a large,
5,800-square-kilometre (2,200 sq mi) portion of Larsen C had broken from
the mainland at some point between 10 and 12 July.[5][31] The iceberg weighs more than a trillion tonnes[32][33] and is more than 200 m (700 ft) thick.[34] The final breakthrough was detected in data from NASA’s Aqua MODIS satellite instrument, which images in the thermal infrared at a resolution of 1 km, and confirmed by NASA’s Suomi VIIRS instrument.[35][35]
The iceberg is not expected to be an immediate danger to shipping, but
it could pose a threat if it moves significantly northwards.[34]"
