Pictures were taken from the plane, and show the broken piece of glacier Larsen S.
Representatives from NASA showed images of a giant Antarctic iceberg – once part of the glacier Larsen C. It is one of the most massive icebergs ever, reports Mashable.
It is known that the iceberg, named A-68, broke away from a glacier in the period from 10 to 12 July this year. Despite the fact that he has already become somewhat smaller in size, he remains a giant.
The pictures, released by NASA, for the first time demonstrate the iceberg from such a close distance. Until now, all photos in which he was captured, was taken by satellite.
