The biggest recorded "iceberg" is about to break-off Antarctica. The iceberg has been reported to be with an area almost the size of the state of Delaware.
The ocean water in the cold south off the coast of Antarctica is one of the few places on the planet where the effects of climate change is seemingly absent. Ocean currents push surface water northward up the Arctic causing centuries-old cold deep water to move all the way to the surface off the coast of Antarctica.
Researchers previously thought that the mass extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs did not affect the creatures in the Antarctic to that extent.
A collaboration between NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has finally revealed why there is a difference between the sea ice change of Arctic and Antarctic.
