A large rift is widening across an increasingly fragile Antarctic ice shelf, scientists found. The ***** is spreading across the Larsen C Ice Shelf at an increased rate, threatening to carve out an iceberg the size of Delaware while destabilizing a larger area of ice roughly the size of Scotland.*
When this iceberg calving event happens — ** one k**ws exactly when it will occur, except that it's getting closer — it will be the largest calving event in Antarctica since the 1980s, scientists say.*

About 10 to 12 percent of the Larsen C Ice Shelf is expected to break off during such an event, leaving the larger ice shelf even more vulnerable to melting from increasing air and ocean temperatures.
