Accuweather:
A massive iceberg that’s twice the volume of Lake Erie has completely separated from the Larsen C Ice Shelf in Antarctica, researchers announced Wednesday.
In a blog post from Project Midas, a UK-based Antarctic research project that has been investigating the warming climate and its effect on the Larsen C ice shelf in West Antarctica, researchers said NASA satellite imagery has confirmed that the iceberg had calved sometime between Monday, July 10, and Wednesday, July 12.
The process of calving occurs when a large mass of ice breaks off from the end of a glacier.

“The iceberg is one of the largest recorded and its future progress is difficult to predict. It may remain in one piece but is more likely to break into fragments,” he said.
