Crack in Larsen A iceshelf
The Larsen-A ice shelf collapsed in January 1995. Over the last 50 years, temperatures in the vicinity of the Antarctic Peninsula have warmed by 2.5 degrees Celsius, much faster than the global average. Simultaneously, vast areas of the large ice masses surrounding the coastlines of the Antarctic Peninsula have begun to disintegrate.
