In this image, (click here) bright icebergs spread across Pine Island Bay, resembling shards of broken glass. The bergs appear to be crumbling off Thwaites Glacier, a small part of which is visible on the right edge of the image. Thwaites and its neighbor, Pine Island Glacier, are the fastest-moving glaciers in Antarctica.
