315 Billion-tonne Iceberg Breaks off Antarctica.
Is this a big iceberg or what!
315 billion-tonne iceberg breaks off Antarctica.
The Amery Ice Shelf in Antarctica has just produced its biggest iceberg in more than 50 years.
The calved block covers 1,636 sq km in area - a little smaller than Scotland's Isle of Skye - and is called D28.
The scale of the berg means it will have to be monitored and tracked because it could in future pose a hazard to shipping.
Not since the early 1960s has Amery calved a bigger iceberg. That was a whopping 9,000 sq km in area.
Amery is the third largest ice shelf in Antarctica, and is a key drainage channel for the east of the continent.

The scientists have already discounted that thought.Originally Posted by george65
The Scripps researcher stressed that there was no link between this event and climate change. Satellite data since the 1990s has shown that Amery is roughly in balance with its surroundings, despite experiencing strong surface melt in summer.

If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!
WTF would you tow it with? lolNot bad, good size

It's as big as an island. One report I read said as big as Flinders island, you know the one between here & where you are. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Dick will tow it into Sydney Harbour, don't you worry, then he will jump a bus over it
Yeah, there would be a few Penguins going on a vacation at that size

How about towing it with another Island?
I think the real question is what you going to use for a tow rope??
Bah! Since when has facts, logic and reality ever come into it?
They will make up and lie about anything they thing furthers the religion and the cult leaders prescribe. People are dying remember! Grizzla Dumbturd told us so!
Nah never gonna do it. That little thing is a pimple compared to this iceberg island (D28) weighing in at an estimated 315 Billion Tonnes.
The biggest ship available is the Pioneering Spirit, a 1,253-foot-long crane ship used to install and remove offshore oil platforms. The behemoth weighs 365,000 metric tons in transit – more than three times the tonnage of the USS Gerald R. Ford (supposedly the largest aircraft carrier), and it can hold much more weight without sinking.
But it aint gonna do it either.

So what is the predicted future of this new island?
It floats away? Or remains attached as the seasons change?
If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!
How? The one in the 1960's was 4 times the size....
This shows improvement.

Another Island for China to confiscate and build a military base on
enf (03-10-19)
Bet they will figure out a way to tow it to where they want! :0)Another Island for China to confiscate and build a military base on
Just get a few people smugglers down there, they'll take it to wherever they want to export their queue jumpers from, load it up and then send it to us.

A great big bank of Chineese outboard motors on the rear of it revving their little heads off and a oil tanker full of petrol and sail it to china to make ice creams
As per post#1.

I'd love to see it make it to the open ocean.
Not sure how the southern ocean currents work? If it can escape the local area or not?
But what a giggle if it starts heading for another land mass
Wonder if it was this one?

She will have another speech this weekend about this. " I TOLD YOU SO" the worlds will end in 10 years time if you don''t believe me look at the Movie 2012 (Roland Emmerich) see It can and will happen all because of Climate Change.
