Professor Andrew Luckman from the University of Swansea is watching the whole process. Expert writes in his blog that can accurately predict when there will be separation of the iceberg.
Previously, scientists speculated that if the entire ice shelf Larsen C oderwałby from Antarctica melted, the ocean level will rise 10 inches. He added, however, that in this case it is also impossible to determine whether it happens at all.
