Is Antarctica Cracking Up?

The question, “Is Antarctica cracking up?”

Since the beginning of December 2016 a crack has increasingly grown in the Antarctica that’s sliced through to the ice shelf floor.

At one hundred miles long scientists believe that it will soon break away.

But what happens next?

I understand that the sea will rise as it melts and it will cause flooding and destruction.

I read an article dated 26^th February 2017 that mentioned that a mass evacuation was underway. This is understandable considering the circumstances, but prior to that many well known and important people had visited Antarctica.

So was it to see this enormous crack or have they discovered something more sinister beneath the ice?

Whatever the real cause of this crack I don’t think you can blame global warming this time, fracking maybe!

But hey I’m no scientist, what do you think?
