A fissure almost two miles long has been discovered in the Arizona desert. Drone footage uploaded to YouTube by the Arizona Geological Survey shows the massive fissure in the desert surface. In a post accompanying the video the Arizona Geological Survey explains that the fissure is in the Tator Hills area of southern Pinal County. "AZGS is experimenting with drone technology as a tool for mapping fissures and other surface features, e.g. Joe Cook of the Arizona Geological Survey told 12News that the fissure's southern mile is fresher, and may have reached the surface in a 2016 monsoon.

Yesterday, the Halley VI Research Station was forced to close its Antarctic research base amid rising fears it could fall into a huge ice chasm. Shocking new drone footage has now been released that shows just how massive the growing crack in the ice is. The worrying footage has forced the British research base to relocate 14 miles (22 km) across the Brunt Ice Shelf and close its doors for the winter. The footage shows a 25 mile-long (40km) crack that appears to be a few feet deep. In some areas, the crack has split into two, leaving behind small islands of ice.
