Description
Deutsch: NASA-Bild vom 24. Oktober 2011

Eine DC-8 der NASA flog am 14. Oktober 2011 im Rahmen der Erkundungsmission Operation IceBridge über dem Pine-Island-Gletscher. Eine breite, langgezogene Spalte durch das Eisschelf war dabei gesichtet worden. Die DC-8 hob am 26. Oktober 2011 erneut ab, um mehr Daten über das Eisschelf und die Spalte zu sammeln. Das Gebiet außerhalb der Spalte könnte in den kommenden Monaten zum Kalben eines Eisberges führen, dessen Fläche 800 Quadratkilometer betragen würde, sagte NASA-Wissenschaftler Michael Studinger, der IceBridge betreut.

English: NASA image acquired October 24, 2011

NASA's DC-8 flew over the Pine Island Glacier Ice Shelf on Oct. 14, 2011 as part of the agency's Operation IceBridge. A large, long-running crack was plainly visible across the ice shelf. The DC-8 took off on Oct. 26, 2011, to collect more data on the ice shelf and the crack. The area beyond the crack that could calve in the coming months covers about 310 square miles (800 square kilometers), IceBridge project scientist Michael Studinger said.
