With climate change triggering unmitigated changes in weather patterns and heating up Earth s atmosphere, one of the biggest threats is to the southernmost tip of the planet, which is continuously witnessing the degradation of the critically needed ice-shelf. Now, an enormous iceberg has calved from the western side of the Ronne Ice Shelf and is afloat in Antarctica s Weddell Sea, the European Space Agency said.
Dubbed as the largest iceberg in the world, A-76 measures around 4,320 sq km in size, three times the size of New Delhi, which is 1,484 sq km. The iceberg was spotted by the Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission of the agency and has successfully taken over the ranks from the A-23A iceberg approximately 3880 sq km in size, also afloat in Weddell sea.
