Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Larsen Ice Shelf is a large glacial shelf extending along the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. Researchers studying Antarctica divide this area into four: Larsen A (the smallest), Larsen B, Larsen C (the largest), and Larsen D. A large sheet of sea ice has coalesced on the eastern coast of the Larsen B over the past 10 years. However, January 2022 saw a breakup of the sea ice. The cause was probably a boreal summer warmer than usual. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 28 January, shows the sea ice after it broke away from Larsen-B. Every month, the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) publishes a Climate Bulletin that details the current status of the climate, including a detailed overview of the temperatures in Antarctica.
