NASA find new iceberg 3 times the size of Manhattan in Antarctica

NASA has spotted a gigantic new iceberg three times the size of Manhattan in Antarctica. Named B-46, it is believed to measure 66 square nautical miles (87 square miles), according to estimates from the U.S. National Ice Center. NASA's Operation IceBridge flight spotted the giant berg, which broke off from Pine Island Glacier in late October. Wednesday's flight plan took the IceBridge team over Pine Island Glacier as part of the long-running campaign to collect year-over-year measurements of sea ice, glaciers, and critical regions of Earth's ice sheets. 'As NASA's DC-8 flew its pre-determined flight pattern, the new iceberg that calved in late October came into view,' the Space Agency said.
