Whatever happened to Iceberg A68? On Thursday it will be one year old:

Your third helping of icy @IAGLeeds geophysics at #EGU18: awesome radar structures in #LarsenC ice shelf! Come ponder with me over a beer - Weds 17.30, X5.414. @MIDASOnIce @EGU_CR

Nine months of #ESA_EO #Sentinel1 data compressed into a couple of seconds. Bon voyage A68.

A68 takes a chunk out of Larsen C Ice Shelf (#Sentinel1) @ESA_EO

[Joshua Stevens @jscarto]

With sunlight now reaching Antarctica, we can see the Larsen C iceberg (A-68A) in incredible detail: https://t.co/gifzlSV1nJ

Giant iceberg on the move - @CopernicusEU #Sentinel1 sees #A68 drifting away from #Antarctic ice shelf https://t.co/ZjGKOIOGSl

[Stef Lhermitte @StefLhermitte]

@JuliaLeStage @ESA_EO Drifting away is largely result of wind : https://t.co/FFhQeEwQsJ For break-off (hi)story check @MIDASOnIce 's https://t.co/pXZ8nO38JQ

[Stef Lhermitte @StefLhermitte]

After some initial back-and-forth movement, #LarsenC 's iceberg #A68 seems on drift now in @ESA_EO 's #sentinel1 composites

[Adrian Luckman @adrian_luckman]

Offshore foehn winds have opened up the sea ice giving A68 the best chance yet to start sailing away from Larsen C. #Sentinel1 8th September

[Stef Lhermitte @StefLhermitte]

It's nice to see Larsen C by daylight again. Today (24/8) was the first clear sky #MODIS image highlighting the size of the #A68 iceberg

[Project MIDAS @MIDASOnIce]

It’s about one or two kilometers in the north, and a bit more in the south, where the rift was wider to begin with https://t.co/nM24oDVGX1

[Shaun'o @shaungvw]

@MIDASOnIce What size fap is there now between A68 and Larcen C? A few meters? Tens of meters?

[Project MIDAS @MIDASOnIce]

A quick blog update on how Larsen C is responding to the calving of Iceberg A68: https://t.co/idWt1R80H2

[Martin O'Leary @mewo2]

Just for @chrisenorth, here’s a size comparison of A68 and the A68

The AMA is still going over at https://t.co/FYXGPZtzwV - ever had anything you wanted to ask a glaciologist?

[Project MIDAS @MIDASOnIce]

Put your questions about A-68 to our expert @mewo2 on Reddit now!

[Martin O'Leary @mewo2]

The thread for my Reddit AMA is now live! Ask your questions about iceberg A-68 (or anything else) here: https://t.co/FYXGPZtzwV

[Martin O'Leary @mewo2]

This is going down in an hour’s time - ask me whether I’d rather fight an iceberg-sized penguin or 100 penguin-sized icebergs https://t.co/JpyV2IJVIx

[Swansea University @SwanseaUni]

Got questions about the trillion-tonne iceberg?
6 pm today on Reddit - AMA (Ask Martin Anything)
He's one of the scientists from @MIDASOnIce https://t.co/uElAqboqur

[Project MIDAS @MIDASOnIce]

Our very own @mewo2 will be answering your questions about iceberg #A68 on Reddit at 6pm UK time/1pm US Eastern https://t.co/mLm3QiyvoZ

[Martin O'Leary @mewo2]

If you have Qs about iceberg A68, I'm on https://t.co/FscHXeNtRE later (6pm UK time, 1pm US Eastern). Will post the link closer to the time

[Project MIDAS @MIDASOnIce]

A68 is starting to lose some chunks already! Still an enormous berg though https://t.co/1TCHbDdisV

[Adrian Luckman @adrian_luckman]

Just as A68 gets its oficial name, Suomi NPP/VIIRS shows that it has broken into two pieces - A68a and A68b I guess?
