This is not the exact picture I was looking for but it will do. The Filcher Ice Shelf has a 'crack' in it. This is an earlier than I wanted to find. The 'crack/fissure' currently reaches all the way to the mountain rig to the right of the crevasse. Some would say this is a natural process as delivered by the pressure of the moving Recovery Ice Stream. And to a certain extent it is, but, all the processes I have noted with Human Induced Global Warming are natural processes, but, the difference is their magnitude and dynamics are grossly out of proportion to anything previous. So. The dynamics here are realized as 'normal' but the fact is the entire ice sheet is gone and this is more than just 'caving' of an iceberg. Icebergs aren't supposed to be the size of Rhode Island. The Filcher Ice Sheet is disappearing.
