Massive Iceberg is Turning Blue and Breaking UpAntarctica —(Map)Scientists have been tracking the huge iceberg A23a for years. After 40 years, the massive iceberg is breaking up and is soon expected to disappear completely. Glaciers slowly push beyond the edge of the land, creating massive “ice shelves” floating on the water below. But now the iceberg is covered in pools of water from the melted ice, turning it a deep blue. The iceberg’s long and winding journey has taught scientists a lot about how these massive icebergs behave.
