Nine months of #ESA_EO #Sentinel1 data compressed into a couple of seconds. Bon voyage A68.

@JuliaLeStage @ESA_EO Drifting away is largely result of wind : #current/wind/surface/level/azimuthal_equidistant=-57.30,-66.94,3000" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/… For break-off (hi)story check @MIDASOnIce 's projectmidas.org

Offshore foehn winds have opened up the sea ice giving A68 the best chance yet to start sailing away from Larsen C. #Sentinel1 8th September

It’s about one or two kilometers in the north, and a bit more in the south, where the rift was wider to begin with twitter.com/shaungvw/statu…

@MIDASOnIce What size fap is there now between A68 and Larcen C? A few meters? Tens of meters?

A68 is starting to lose some chunks already! Still an enormous berg though twitter.com/adrian_luckman…

Just as A68 gets its oficial name, Suomi NPP/VIIRS shows that it has broken into two pieces - A68a and A68b I guess?
