[h=3]Giant Crack in Antarctica’s Larsen C Ice Shelf Grew 11 Miles in Just 6 Days[/h] A huge crack in one of Antarctica’s largest ice shelves has grown by another 11 miles, leaving an area of ice a quarter of the size of New Jersey hanging on by a section that is only eight miles long. Scientists with Project Midas, a U.K. based Antarctic research group, have been observing the growing rift on the Larsen C Ice Shelf for the last two years. In January, they said the crack had grown significantly and it was connected to the main ice shelf by 12 miles.
