[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 4367801, member: 18222"] Damn Dude! Did you even think about that before posting? The truth: Last week's calving -- observed on satellite imagery -- [B]will not have an impact on sea levels, the researchers say.[/B] The table iceberg, named D-28 by scientists, broke off the shelf in east Antarctica. It measures 1,636 square kilometres (632 square miles) in area, is 210 meters (689 feet) thick and weighs a massive 315 billion tons. The iceberg will now be tracked because it poses a potential hazard for shipping. The huge iceberg calved off the Pine Island glacier. The Pine Island glacier "is one of the fastest-retreating glaciers in Antarctica," according to NASA. The glacier and the nearby Thwaites glacier together contain "enough vulnerable ice to raise global sea level by 1.2 meters (4 feet)," [URL='https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/features/pine-island']NASA[/URL] said.
