En parlant de glace, voici un iceberg qui s'est détaché de l'Antartique il y a de cela une dixaine d'années et qui dérive maintenant dans l'Océan Indien, au sud-ouest de l'Australie. L'échelle montre qu'il est long de 10 kilomètres!

"The third-largest remaining piece of the slowly disintegrating B17-B iceberg, which broke off Antarctica’s Ross Ice Shelf a decade ago, resembles a cartoon drawing of a whale in this natural-color image from the Advanced Land Imager (ALI) aboard NASA’s Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite. The image was captured on December 30, 2009. The berg drifted around the Southern Ocean for years before heading northward into the southern Indian Ocean, southwest of Australia."
