Icebergs | NASA Earthdata NASA's iceberg data includes current and historical measurements useful for mapping icebergs, glaciers that calve them, and their characteristics
Iceberg A23a in the Southern Ocean, Antarctica - Earthdata Iceberg A23a calved from the Filchner–Ronne Ice Shelf (on the northwestern side of Antarctica) in 1986 and had been stuck in the Weddell Sea off the coast of West Antarctica until it started moving again in 2020
Iceberg A23A Grounded Near South Georgia Island - Earthdata Iceberg A23A was captured in this false-color corrected reflectance (Bands 7-2-1) image from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard the Aqua platform on March 4, 2025 The iceberg, the big blue object southwest of the island, has run aground near South Georgia Island in Antarctica
Iceberg A23A Sheds a Piece - NASA Earthdata Iceberg A23A, which grounded in early March, is the rectangular feature in the center of the image Iceberg A23C, which broke off in mid-April, can be seen on the right side of the image This before-and-after comparison shows Iceberg A23C breaking off Iceberg A23A between April 11 and April 12 Iceberg A23C is almost 20km in length and 8km in
Iceberg A23A Moving Toward South Georgia Island, Antarctica NASA's true-color corrected reflectance image of a very large iceberg A23A moving toward South Georgia Island in Antarctica was captured by the MODIS instrument aboard the Terra satellite
Glacier Power: What is Glacier Anatomy? | NASA Earthdata The accumulation (input) zone is where a glacier gains snow and ice through snowfall and compression Ice begins to flow like a conveyor belt, driven by gravity and ever mounting snows In the lower region or ablation (output) zone, the glacier loses ice through melting and evaporation Older ice is carried down to greater and greater depth An equilibrium line divides the two areas This spot
Glacier Power: Why is Glacier Ice Blue? - NASA Earthdata Glacial ice is a different color from regular ice It is so blue because the dense ice of the glacier absorbs every other color of the spectrum except blue — so blue is what we see!
After the Larsen B - NASA Earthdata MacAyeal and his colleagues discovered the effect of these waves after an iceberg they were studying, named B-15A, abruptly shattered on October 27, 2005 B-15A was a large iceberg, about the size of Luxembourg, which had run aground off of the coast of Antarctica It broke up on a calm day with locally mild weather, puzzling observers
