A brand new iceberg, dubbed A-83, has broken off from the Brunt Ice Shelf in Antarctica.

Polar-orbiting satellites captured this chunk of ice, estimated to be bigger than the city of Las Vegas, utilizing the day/night band as darkness engulfs the southern-most continent. https://t.co/MeoyqbemId

The world 🌎 has experienced up to 500 medium- to large-scale annual disasters over the last 20 years.
This is 5 times higher than the previous three decades.

Iceberg A-83 breaks away from the Brunt Ice Shelf. 🧊

A sensor on #Landsat 9 captured these enhanced-color images of the break. Yellows and oranges are warmer areas, like open water or thin sea ice. Blues are colder areas, like the thicker ice of the iceberg and ice shelf. https://t.co/UuXnwQ4JGL

Launch alert ⤵️

Scientists will use PREFIRE data to update climate and ice models, which will lead to better predictions of how sea level, weather, and snow and ice cover are likely to change in a warming world.

🚀 Launching next: PREFIRE

The twin satellites of this mission, launching on separate rockets, will help improve climate models by measuring the amount of heat lost to space from Earth’s polar regions. #ReadyAimPREFIRE https://t.co/ekp4ZW05Ub - NASA Earth

RT @GreenpeaceCL: ¡Por primera vez en el Santuario de la Naturaleza Yerba Loca! 😻 Conocido como el “Fantasma de la Cordillera” por lo difícil que se hacen sus avistamientos, el #gatoandino está en peligro de extinción y este inédito hallazgo fue posible gracias al trabajo colaborativo entre la Alianza Gato Andino (AGA) y Greenpeace Chile.
