The Larsen B Ice Shelf in Antarctica, which suffered a partial collapse in 2002, is rapidly disintegrating and is expected to melt completely by 2020, according to a report produced by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Large cracks are developing and the glaciers are thinning out rapidly.
“Although it’s fascinating scientifically to have a front-row seat to watch the ice shelf becoming unstable and breaking up, it’s bad news for our planet,” Ala Khazendar, one of the authors of the report, said in a statement. “This ice shelf has existed for at least 10,000 years, and soon it will be gone.”
