1. A76 is 4,320 km^2 or 0.03% of the total ICE CAP.
   
   Pine Island glacier contains 180,000 Gt of ice or 0.73% of the entire ICE CAP.
   
   Ooooohhhhh, SCARY!!!!!!

   Antarctica covers 14.2 E6 km^2 (NBS equivalents: 20 * Texas, 2,768 * Delaware or 163,218 * Manhattan) with an average ICE CAP thickness of 1.9 km for a volume of 2.698 E7 km^3.
   
   Ice has a density of 9.2 E11kg/km^3.
   
   The Antarctic ICE CAP (NOT sea ice!) contains 2.482 E19 kg of ice, 2.482 E16 tonne, 24.82 E6 Gt.
   
   Between 2002 and 2012 the Antarctic ICE CAP supposedly “lost” about 1,200 Gt or a decrease of 0.0048%, 48 ppm, per decade.
   
   At that rate the ICE CAP will be all gone in 206,850 years.
   
   I don’t plan on waiting around.
   
   You?

   Every year the SEA ICE swings from around 3E6 km^2 during summer to 14E6 km^2 (doubling the polar coverage) during winter.
   
   Thwaites glacier is 192,000 km^2 or about 1.3% of the ice cap.
   
   Yawn!!!!!

2. Yeah but imagine the S O U N D it made

3. thats not an iceberg its antarctica splitting in 2

4. So many intelligent people here for war want to show how powerful they are with their arms,nuclear weapons ..do they care about it do they plant a tree for save world do they have any humanity so this type of news its just a news its wont work for well-being of earth

5. How long will this ice take to melt and what effects will it have on global warming?

6. My question is, why do scientist seem to be intimidated

   The Antarctic will hit the tipping point between now and 2025 IMO.

   Why sugarcoat it or be conservative?

   The world should at least know what the worst-case scenario looks like
   .
   The soft tectonic plates of the antarctic are especially vulnerable to the massive shifts in weight from the trillions of tons of weight of the ice shelves currently anchored on the ground.

   When that weight is 'suddenly' released we will see an acceleration of ice melt that will make the last 20 years' worth of acceleration seem ridiculously small.

   Volcanic fissures, eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis.

   What would a huge tsunami do the Antarctic ice shelf???

   Please put together a 'complete' worst-case scenario so we can prepare if it indeed happens

7. That's very bad for all worlds.

8. Global warming 😂

9. so the day after tomorrow begins

10. If you will challenge me i will destroy you [ nature to men]

11. where it will go,

12. Wonder where that acorn went 😆

13. WATCH 🔴 LIVE HOW ANTARCTICA ICEBERG BREAKS OFF ….. WORLD'S LARGEST(4 TIMES BIGGER THAN NEW YORK CITY) ICEBERG BREAKS OFF …

15. When this melt sea going up for sure🙄

16. The reason why billionaires won’t stop until they build rockets to mars

17. Where all going die by drowning now.
    Oh it was floating and water before and it's still floating so we didn't add any more to the rise of the oceans.. nevermind,..

18. Is this the end

19. Is this good or bad?

20. Imagine they detected the crack 10 years ago… 10years now is so very fast, we expect more more natural climate change after 10years. Actually climate changes everyday all over the world

21. yes this looks scary but couldn't help myself from thing about ice age squirrel 😂😂

22. End of days is near

23. Is this beginning of the end??

24. How can one talk about the west bank of Antarctica?

25. Since the Antarctic is on top of the south pole, wouldnt all the banks be to its north?

26. Wow

27. Slowly and steadily we are going to the Apocalypse days…..

28. Very good

29. im confused why not break it smaller or melt them something

30. yup better listen to master aoc l

31. why is this not on the news in uk

32. dooms day

33. Maybe my neighborhood will become river soon

34. repent and turn to jesus christ while you still can, or you know sit around and mess around while you watch the world burn and flood.

35. People say this is the size of Hobart, but the other says the size of Brisbane. Brisbane is way bigger, that’s really concerning.

36. Drop me and a line and a board and I will ride that powder

37. Mountains out of mole hills.

38. Thats how you know the earth is flat

39. 20 times bigger than Manhattan…. So, like, Los Angeles?

40. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

41. 2014 had the greatest ice coverage in recorded history. The only reason we're having a huge iceberg break loose is that winters have so much ice! Ah, they forgot to mention that.

42. Nice fisheye lense

43. rip earth

44. This plane will be the new Titanic

45. Ehh y'know 2021 just doing its job 😒🤪

46. Its gonna be a hot summer and looks like were all going for a swim whether we want to or not

47. Come on guys its 2021i know its cold but throw a drone down there missed opportunities

48. there was literally no point to that. could’ve just stayed together instead of being so dramatic 🙄🙄

49. Iceberg breaking, glaciers melting, climate change etc etc. This is the beginning of the end
