Right now, a big chunk of Antarctic ice is hanging on by a frozen thread.
British researchers monitoring the crack in the Larsen C ice shelf say that only about 12 miles now connect the chunk of ice to the rest of the continent.
"If it doesn't go in the next few months, I'll be amazed,"
Larsen C is Antarctica's fourth-largest ice shelf.
That's just a pic of your mom rubbing the bottom of her meet flaps across some salt flats
And?
that picture is weird.. its a 747 over antartica..
for what purpose
Man, the coke head who wound up in Antarctica must have one hell of a brain freeze.
read the article:
"After a few months of steady, incremental advance since the last event, the rift grew suddenly by a further 18 km [11 miles] during the second half of December 2016," wrote Adrian Luckman in a statement Thursday by the MIDAS Project, which is monitoring changes in the area.
The crack in question has been growing for years and is now a total of roughly 70 miles long. When the fissure reaches the far side of the shelf, an iceberg the size of Delaware will float off, leaving the Larsen C 10 percent smaller.
Ice shelves are important because they provide a buffer between the sea and the ice that sits on land, in this case on the Antarctic Peninsula. Without a healthy ice shelf, water from melting glaciers can flow straight to the sea, raising the sea level.
It's normal for the front of an ice shelf to crack and break off, known as calving. But it's unusual for that to happen faster than the ice shelf can refreeze.
Some scientists worry that the missing piece will destabilize the whole ice shelf. A smaller ice shelf, Larsen B, completely splintered in a little over a month in 2002, a process that started with a similar crack. Another ice shelf, Larsen A, had disintegrated a few years before.
IT'S FUCKING NOTHING
i lol'ed and idk why
they have to get to their hidden ski resort somehow

It's not a ski resort, it's where they have illegal penguin fights.
It's rude to project yourself onto others.

Just when you think you've heard everything, they come up with some inventive, next-level retarded shit to say.
they can deep fry penguins in peace without peta talking shit
I want murrifats and russwines get flooded
>OH NOO BIG ICEBERG WILL DESTROY CIVILIZATION
hahah fuck off even the penguins do not give a shit
we need you to stay safe , if not were will we buy superior potassium
I would get seside property. MELT ALL ICE.
>Yes I am Jewish.
>Temperatures in the summer rise, cracks in the ice result.
Well I guess global warming must be true then.
>The losing penguins get thrown out.
>The champion gets deep fried and feasted on.
...
Because they're ETOPs exempt
Well shit.
Who is ready for The day after tommorow?
melt the ice penguin war now
If the world flood like that your country will be underwater too borat. kys.

These people are off their fucking noodles.
fpbp
Also, congrats on your repeating integers, kek smiles upon thee
jewish scary stories before bed
your property is now ocean front increasing in value
but your insurance rates go up to subsidize the billions in claims
and then dun dun dun
the increase in value is less then the increase in your insurance.
We are fukt.

That doesn't look like a 747.
Thats 65 million years ago...
Carbon dioxide can't melt ice glaciers.
>believing anything reported by NPR when it comes to global warming
We've learned to think bad jokes are good because of retards thinking they're good
>hands aren't tiny
Faggots can't even meme properly, and wonder why they lost.
