Massive Iceberg Breaks Off Antarctic Ice Shelf

巨型冰山从南极冰架断裂脱落

A NASA satellite has confirmed that a massive iceberg the size of Jamaica has broken off from a floating Antarctic ice shelf known as Larsen C. Researchers had been predicting this split since lasts resulted in a significant change to the earth’s geography. The iceberg, one of the world’s largest, could pose a major problem to the shipping industry in the future as it breaks up.

NASA的卫星确认一个与牙买加等大的巨型冰山从南极洲的漂浮冰架拉森C上断裂脱落。自去年11月在该冰架上发现一个巨大裂缝后，研究人员就预测了这次脱落。科学家将这个过程描述为“分娩”，并没有将其归咎于人为的全球变暖。不过，他们确实也相信这次冰山的脱落会对地球的地形产生重大影响。这块世界最大的冰山之一断裂以后，将来可能会给船运业造成麻烦。
