Both Australian and French scientists said the same thing on Friday, that a massive iceberg struck Antarctica recently, which dislodged another giant block of ice from a glacier. The two icebergs are now said to be drifting together, about 62 to 93 miles of eastern Antarctica.

According to a recent report at detnews.com, Neal Young – a glaciologist from the Australian Antarctic Division – said that the collision, which was said to have occurred around February 12th or 13th, gave the 60-mile long iceberg a pretty big nudge.

The 60-mile long iceberg was said to have collided with the giant floating Mertz Glacier, and broke off a new iceberg. “They are now floating right next to each other,” Young said. According to Young, the new iceberg is 48 miles long, and around 24 miles wide.

Benoit Legresy – a researcher with the LEGOS laboratory for geophysical studies in Toulouse, France – says that the iceberg that hit the Mertz Glacier, is called B9B and had apparently broke free from another part of Antarctica back in 1987.

Legresy went on to explain that the latest dislodging occurred, because of the iceberg’s latest location and the water that had warmed during Antarctica’s summer, which left less sea ice. Some experts are concerned about the effect of the massive displacement.
