The crack started to quickly spread in December 16th and there is no sign of it healing any time soon. In more recent times, the crack in the Larsen C Ice Shelf has grown an extra 10 miles.
Swansea University’s Professor Adrian Luckman has commented on how the growing fissure has seen an unexpected turn towards its end. He fears the worst, but has also stated that one can’t be 100% sure of the scale of the crack’s damage.
In total, the crack is currently over 125 miles long. It traces part of a berg, which is equivalent to a quarter of the size of Wales.
