NASA spots a SECOND 'monolith' iceberg
NASA has spotted a second perfectly rectangular iceberg in the Antarctic. The second rectangular berg, known as a'tabular' iceberg, was spotted off the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, near the Larsen C ice shelf and close to the first one. It is part of a large'field of bergs NASA experts may have recently broken off the shelf, and say the sharp angles and flat surfaces are evidence the break occurred very recently. Just past the original rectangular iceberg, which is visible from behind the outboard engine, IceBridge saw another relatively rectangular berg and the A68 iceberg in the distance. Tabular icebergs split off the edges of ice shelves in the same way a fingernail that grows too long ends up cracking off.
