A trillion-tonne iceberg, one of the biggest on record, has snapped off the West Antarctic ice shelf, said scientists Wednesday who have monitored the growing crack for months.

In a new update on the Larsen C Ice Shelf Rift, dated June 28, 2017, Project Midas scientists say that a speeding up of the breaking off of the soon-to-be-iceberg is another sign that "calving is imminent."

In the largest growth rate to date, the crack in the Larsen C Ice Shelf grew an astounding 17 kilometers (11 miles) between May 25 and May 31, 2017, leaving only 13 kilometers (eight miles) left before it breaks off.

There has been a significant change in Antarctica's Larsen C ice shelf, with a new rift developing that is heading toward the ice-front. This indicates a near-future calving event.

An iceberg the size of Manhattan has sheared off the rapidly melting Pine Island glacier on the West coast of Antarctica, and from the looks of things, there will be more to come says NASA.

Wanda Stead and her husband were enjoying a day out in the Bay of Exploits Tuesday when she unexpectedly caught on video the collapse of an iceberg. While at first fascinating, they pretty soon had to move, and move fast, to escape the icy tidal wave.

One of the largest icebergs in existence – an ice island, really – roughly six times the size of Manhattan broke off from an Antarctic glacier and is currently heading into open waters.

A small group of American tourists dining on top of an ice glacier in frozen Iceland had to be rescued when the ice broke away from the land and began to drift out to sea.

According to scientists, an iceberg twice the size of Manhattan broke off Greenland's Petermann Glacier, The Associated Press reports.

A tourist was lucky to catch a rare sight on video: the dramatic moment an iceberg flipped over, bringing up a new mass of ice over the surface of water during a process called "calving."

A glacier the size of New York or Berlin has recently split off in the Antarctic continent creating a split 800-feet wide. The glacial split in Pine Island runs for almost 20 miles (32km), is 60m (200ft) deep and is growing every day.

Passengers in two explorer boats on Terminal Lake in New Zealand have witnessed massive ice carving into the Lake and huge 3.5 metre waves rocked their boat.

Scientists believe that a collision between an iceberg and a glacier in the Antarctic will allow them to gather new information, as it provides them with access to an area of seabed previously unseen.

A monster iceberg is moving toward Australia from the Ross Ice Shelf of Antarctica prompting Australian authorities to alert ocean-going vessels on the possible dangers that the giant iceberg may cause.

Large icebergs have been tracked heading away from Antartica and into the warmer waters near Australia. Ice shelves are being carved out.

Comparison of speeds between Sentinel-1 image mosaics in early and late June 2017. The early mosaic combines displacements on the inner shelf measured between 6th and 12th June with similar ones on the outer shelf measured between 3rd and 15th June. The recent mosaic combines inner shelf displacements up to 24th June with outer shelf displacements only 3 days later highlighting a significant acceleration over those three days. Project Midas

This rift is the second to form in the center of the ice shelf in the past three years. The first resulted in an iceberg that broke off in 2015. Nathan Kurth/NASA
