Gigantic iceberg breaks off Antarctica’s Amery Ice Shelf

Supplied video obtained Tuesday, October 1, 2019, of a gigantic iceberg which has broken away from the Amery Ice Shelf in East Antarctica. The tabular iceberg, officially named D-28, is 1,636 square kilometres in size, or about 50 x 30 kilometres, about the size of urban Sydney or the Isle of Skye in Scotland. It separated from the ice shelf last week, on the 26th of September, next to a location scientists had been watching known as the "Loose Tooth", because it appeared to be precariously attached.
