Demolition Derby on Ice

A 150-kilometre-long iceberg is expected to smash into the end of an Antarctic glacier sometime within the next couple of days.

It is an event so large that the best seat in the house is in space: a massive iceberg is on a collision course with a floating glacier near the McMurdo Research Station in Antarctica. NASA satellites have witnessed the 80-mile-long B-15A iceberg moving steadily towards the Drygalski Ice Tongue.
