New image from NASA shows massive iceberg in Antarctica melting

NASA released a new image on Friday showing a large, shattered chunk of iceberg that broke off from one of Antarctica’s main glaciers earlier this year.
The fragmented piece of iceberg called B-44 calved from Pine Island Glacier—the continent’s fastest melting glacier—in September. A satellite image taken on December 15, around midnight local time, by NASA’s Landsat 8 offers an up-close view of one of the many fragments that shattered from the glacier.
