The iceberg had been slowly breaking away from the Brunt Ice Shelf, a nearly 500-foot-thick floating ice shelf, at about a half-mile per day since January as it pushed northeast. That crack widened several hundred feet in a matter of hours Friday before completely breaking free.
The iceberg covers from 469 to 503 square miles, roughly the size of California's largest city and slightly bigger than New York City's 468 square miles.
This split was inevitable ever since Coca-Cola fired its long standing polar bear representatives.

ReplyDeleteNow if only an LA sized piece of LA would break off California and float away......
ReplyDeleteOr the ice hit LA like a tsunami wave.
DeleteIt's an Emperor penguin conspiracy. Since they can't fly they're using this as a transport vehicle to float north and take over Western Europe. Then America is next.
