Baby Berg Birthed

Birthing an Iceberg

A series of Envisat images captured the birth of a giant iceberg that occurred over a period of time from May-Oct 2007. The new berg was calved from the Pine Island Glacier in Antarctica and measures 34km x 20km.

Check the image above and you’ll see the crack forming back in May 2007 on the left, the image on the right shows a spanking new baby berg.

Watch a cool animation of the birthing process at the European Space Agency site.
