It's done. The last great chunk of #MolarBerg (aka D28a), the biggest block of ice to come of the Amery Ice Shelf in 50 years, let go big style this week. Hydrofracturing shattered the remnant berg virtually overnight. 52S; 22W on 16/5/24. #NASA #Worldview

Please tell me we're going to call it the #HalloweenBerg. Using the normal nomenclature (#A83) is so dull. This is the third large berg to come off the Brunt in three years. The decision of British Antarctic Survey 🐧 to move Halley base in 2016/17 looks ever smarter. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

The world's biggest iceberg is made up of a trillion tonnes of frozen pure water and is more than twice the size of Greater London. It's slowly moving towards the Southern Ocean and having a huge impact on the seas around it bbc.in/455Y7YY

Here's our latest Inquiry, William Crawley speaks to expert witnesses Catherine Colello Walker from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), Oliver Marsh from British Antarctic Survey 🐧, Professor Jemma Wadham from iC3 Polar Research Hub and Professor Christopher Shuman from NASA Goddard

In 1968, during Apollo 8, Bill Anders offered to humanity among the deepest of gifts an astronaut can give. He traveled to the threshold of the Moon and helped all of us see something else: ourselves. He embodied the lessons and the purpose of exploration. We will miss him.

Exciting times Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) thanks to the W. M. Keck Foundation! Hoping this project enables new discoveries under #Antarctica's ice shelves through technology development and collaboration! ecomagazine.com/news/research/…

In the land of ice and snow... ...and volcanoes 🌋🌋🌋 #Cryo2ice is here 🛰️🛰️ Get ready for a week of 🧊 ice sheets and ice shelves 🏔️ mountain glaciers 🌊 oceans ❄️ snow and sea ice 🏞️ inland waters 🔮 & a CRISTAL clear future CryoSat 🤝 ICESat-2 ESA Earth Observation🤝NASA Earth

A brilliant week of science, brought to us by NASA and European Space Agency at the gorgeous waterfront venue of the Harpa Centre here in Reykjavik. We will be bringing you even more highlights from the conference over the next week…

Thanks for this amazing piece ESA's CryoSat mission European Space Agency 🧊❄️ And perhaps after all, “…rock and roll will save the world.” — Pete Townshend

Who's excited for Europa Clipper?! (the answer is me; it's me that's excited) Get up to date with everything you need to know about the mission and the many mysteries of Europa with my new piece for National Geographic nationalgeographic.com/science/articl…

The selections for the NASA PSIE (Precursor Science Investigations for Europa) are posted! Our proposal titled "Chaos Theory: Formation and Evolution of Chaos Terrain, and Prospects for Probing Interior Activity" was selected! I am so proud of our team lead by Sarah Fagents!

Go Clipper! History in the making! #EuropaClipper #NASA #KennedySpaceCenter #Europa #SpaceExploration

🚀NASA astronaut Loral O'Hara brought some real star power to students in #FalmouthMA this week! The former #WHOI engineer shared her journey from working on #innerspace vehicles like #Alvin to achieving her #childhooddream with a recent mission aboard International Space Station!
