The ice shelf Sevestre was studying is called Larsen C, and it now has a massive 90-mile crack running through it. "The big rift is slicing the ice shelf from top to bottom," Sevestre says.

A rapidly advancing crack in Antarctica’s fourth-largest ice shelf has scientists concerned that it is getting close to a full break. The rift has accelerated this year in an area already ...
