An iceberg the size of Luxembourg floats the Antartic
An iceberg the size of Luxembourg has broken away in the antartic and is possibly drifting north.
An iceberg the size of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has detached from a glacier in Antarctica and is drifting in the ocean, scientist officials said Friday.
90 kilometres long and 30 kilometres wide, an area of 2,500 m2. That's the size of a huge drifting glacier in the Antartic that can be compared almost exactly in size to the Grand Duchy.
The block of ice, has a surface area of 2,500 km2, while Luxembourg has an exact area of 2.586m2, and actually began to break off two weeks ago after the impact of another iceberg, stated glaciologist Neal Young.
The giant iceberg could either continue to drift in the Antarctic Ocean or migrate northward and gradually melt.
Luxicebourg!
