Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe birth of five new large icebergs in the Weddell Sea (Copernicus).jpg |
English: The D-28 iceberg is a berg of about 2000 km2 that had been drifting undisturbed in the Weddell Sea since its calving in 2019. Between the end of May and the beginning of June 2021, D-28 collided with the ice shelves in the Queen Maud Land region of Antarctica. As shown in this image acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellites on 12 June, the impact created five new icebergs: D-29A, D-29B, D-29C, D-30A and D-30B. The B-39 iceberg is also visible in the image, but it was already present in the area before the impact of D-28. The Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission is a RADAR mission that has the specificity of providing data that are not affected by the presence of clouds, nor by the long seasonal polar nights. They are therefore particularly useful for monitoring drifting icebergs. |
