Satellite image of a collapsed ice shelf in the East Antarctic in March 2022. The ice shelf was fed by the Conger (lower left) and Glenzer (upper left) glaciers and anchored to Bowman Island (centre right). This ice shelf, which measured around 1,200 square kilometres had been slowly shrinking since the mid-2000s. In early March 2022 an iceberg measuring 144 square kilometres calved from the ice sheet. Temperatures of 40 degrees Celsius above normal in mid March lead to a second iceberg calving and then the disintegration of the ice sheet. Image data obtained on 23rd March 2022 by the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8. For an image of the ice sheet before collapse see C055/3345.
