The Ice Bomb Goes Off

A grounded tabular iceberg served as a research site for an Antarctic expedition that began in New Zealand. Three divers explored a long, deep crevasse inside the berg and found that it had protected a wide variety of sea life. Only hours after the divers surfaced and the research ship moved away, the iceberg seemed to explode into large sections and smaller fragments. It was perhaps the first time humans had eye-witnessed a collapse of that magnitude.
