Antarctic ice crack takes major turn

The fissure, which threatens to spawn one of the biggest bergs ever seen, has dramatically changed direction.

The rift has propagated a further 16km, with a significant apparent right turn towards the end, moving the tip 13km from the ice edge.The fissure currently extends for about 200km in length, tracing the outline of a putative berg that covers some 5,000 square km , an area about a quarter of the size of Wales.

Were the shelf to collapse (and even if it did, it would still take many years to complete), it would continue a trend across the Antarctic Peninsula.
Summarizing, the antartida is breaking, it is melting and it seems that we continue to ignore it, we will see what happens, but it goes from bad to worse.
