Scientists to map Antarctica's ice shelf after iceberg split
A team of scientists and other specialists have launched an expedition to map Antarctica's Larsen C ice shelf from which the trillion-tonne iceberg A68 had separated in 2017. They will board the over 13,500-tonne ice-breaking ship SA Agulhas II on January 1. Scientists said the separated iceberg has made the project easier by blocking a gyre in the Weddell Sea.
