CRACKING GLACIER

In a recent research tour(Operation Icebridge on Ovtober 14th) NASA has found out there's a major crack developing in the Antartctic glacier , which could lead to the formation/breaking of  an iceberg bigger in size than the New York city) . Discovery News reveals:

• The rift was about 820 feet (250 meters)

• The widening crack, and the amount of ice between it and the seaward edge of the glacier, suggests the Glacier will calve an iceberg approximately 340 square miles (880 square kilometers) in area, "later this year or early next year," IceBridge project scientist Michael Studinger of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center said during the call.
