A giant rectangular ice shelf in the Antarctic
NASA's Twitter account recently posted a photo of a ice shelf they spottend during an Antarctic flight. The shelf is nearly rectangular, almost like it has been cut:
From yesterday's #IceBridge flight: A tabular iceberg can be seen on the right, floating among sea ice just off of the Larsen C ice shelf. The iceberg's sharp angles and flat surface indicate that it probably recently calved from the ice shelf. pic.twitter.com/XhgTrf642Z
