Ever since a massive ***** was discovered in Antarctica's Pine Island Glacier in 2011, NASA researchers and other scientists have kept a close watch on this area. The ***** cleaved off an iceberg, **w k**wn as "Ice Island B31," which broke off from the glacier in **vember 2013, and has since been drifting across Pine Island Bay, a basin of the Amundsen Sea, toward the Southern Ocean.
According to the NASA's Earth Observatory (http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=83519&src=youtube), the ice island "will likely be swept up soon in the swift currents of the Southern Ocean..."

During the five-month-long Antarctic spring and summer, an instrument called the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites captured a ****** of images showing the movement if the ice island. NASA recently released a time-lapse video of these images, showing the journey of this massive chunk of ice: Read more...
