Thanks. Good informative article. This slightly off topic for here, but anyway: Antarctica's troublesome 'hairdryer winds' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-39759329

Earth Observatory put out a new article about A68:

Iceberg A-68A has moved a relatively short distance in the year since it calved from the Larsen C Ice Shelf: Iceberg A-68A has moved a relatively short distance in the year since it calved from the Larsen C Ice Shelf/b] https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/92420/one-year-adrift-but-not-far



Quote
A-68A’s sluggishness is not surprising. When it calved, the berg was about the size of Delaware and weighed more than a trillion tons. Dense sea ice in the Weddell Sea has made it harder for currents, tides, and winds to move all of that mass. The iceberg has also become stuck at times when its north end encounters the shallow water near Bawden Ice Rise, an ice-covered rock outcrop.

Still, Iceberg A-68A has seen plenty of motion. Throughout the year, tide cycles have shuffled the berg back and forth like a driver trying to get out of a tight parallel-parking spot. Its north end has been repeatedly smashed against Bawden Ice Rise, fracturing and reshaping its northern edge. Also notice how the southeastern edge appears to have grown in area. This is not part of the original iceberg; it is fast ice that has come fastened to the edge of the berg as it shoves through the ice pack.

A-68A will continue this dance in moonlight, as the darkness of austral winter continues through early August. Thermal images ... an important tool for Adrian Luckman and the UK-based Project MIDAS, which has been monitoring the iceberg and how its calving affects the Larsen C Ice Shelf.

There’s no telling how much longer A-68A will stay “stuck” in the Weddell Sea. The smaller A-68B is a good example of the path taken by many Antarctic bergs, as they are carried by currents out of the Weddell and northward toward South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.

It's actually rotated somewhat this month and is now more broadside on to the tides, i guess once the ice clears it could be moved north more rapidly.  In one of the recent shots from polarview it was hard against the shelf.

Ice Island A-68A is currently kissing the Larsen C Shelf.  You can see the consequent conchoidal cracks (at least two) in the Larsen C around the point of contact.  Detail has two drawn lines approx. 1 cm to the right of two cracks.  It appears to me that some (or most) of the ice island's 'nose' will peel, too.  PolarView image from today.

[Edit:  they were also touching on 2018-08-17.]

No longer 'rejoined' as of the 22nd.  No evidence of the cracks noted two days ago.

I keep worrying that the iceberg will somehow crash into the ice shelf and cause a massive shattering or cracking. It's probably for nothing, as I guess the momentum is not there and there is no way to acquire it. But I wouldn't rest easily if I had such a static bull at my china-shop doorstep.

The A68-A Ice Island and the Larsen C met up again on the 29th (per PolarView - not shown).  The screen shot of yesterday's image (below) is much clearer.  Comparing the Larsen C coastline within the little yellow circle (about 3.5 km long) with the image posted on August 24 shows some 'contact caused erosion'.  The cracks in the Larsen C, however, appear unchanged to me.

A-68 is (was) 5,800 km2 and 1 trillion tonnes giving an average thickness of about 170 metres.
It is a little bit smaller now.

Have some bits just broken off? Wordview images attached.

I understand the 'small' ice island at the top of this image (from March) is A68-B.  Only much smaller pieces have also broken off (but maybe totaling about the same area [volume] than A68-B).
(A68-B is approximately 20 km long.  See post #300 above for the major 'other' iceberg sloughing - which also shows A68-B.)

From that BBC article:
Quote
...
"Until recently, the iceberg was hemmed in by dense sea-ice in the east and shallow waters in the north.

"Now, a strong foehn wind blowing eastwards off the ice shelf in early September has pushed the southerly end of the iceberg out into the Weddell Gyre. This persistent clockwise drift of ocean waters and floating sea-ice flowing north past the Larsen Ice Shelf has rotated A-68 out into the Weddell Sea.

"Here, it is much more free to begin moving away and be carried further north into warmer waters."
...
Incidentially, today's PolarView offers the best image of the battering-ram caused (or assisted) cracks in Larsen C. (enlargement on the original is clearly possible)  Yesterday's PolarView of the entire ice island shows some ~year old fast ice having broken off.  Comparing with 19 July 2018 image above, A68-A has rotated about 50º in 6 weeks.

A - 68A It rotates very fast. I think that it will soon break and divide into smaller icebergs.

"No one is entirely sure where A68 might end up. But researchers are most excited about the home the iceberg is vacating."
https://futurism.com/a68-huge-iceberg-moving/
Quote
When A68 separated from the Antarctic ice shelf, it opened up a doorway into a pristine underwater ecosystem. Researchers predict this area of the ocean has remained undisturbed for some 120,000 years, but now that it’s exposed to sunlight and open-air conditions, there’s no telling what kinds of interesting changes could take place.

“You’ll have sunlight, you’ll have phytoplankton, and you’ll begin to get zooplankton and fish in there pretty quickly,” marine ecosystem researcher Phil Trathan told Live Science in October. “So, it will be sort of a chain reaction — as you get productivity happening then you’ll get more species coming in, and so there will be quite significant changes over relatively short time scales.”
Science is a thought process, technology will change reality.

I think it is useful to show this little 35 pixel something in the bigger context.
When Larsen C was about to calve I quickly calculated this effect on the ice extent around Antarctica. Its size (although it is a really big iceberg) is much too small to be presented in the two-digit daily JAXA figures.
It is too late just to be concerned about Climate Change

Antarctic Sea Ice is, they say, generally 1 to 2 metres thick. The Berg is 5,800 km2 with an average thickness of about 170 metres. That is equivalent to 650,000 km2 of 1.5 metre thick ice.

It is a lot more than 35 pixels, but they are stacked up vertically.

Agreed, hope I'm the only one who missed the ice getting stuck on the arc of Bawden rise, it also shows a link between movement away from the shelf and sudden movement north. Now all set to rotate around the rise.

A68-A is on the move.  Two-framed GIF (from PolarView) goes from "20180910T235812" (nearly midnight at the end of September 10) to "20180911T080126" (8 am on September 11).  The Sept. 11 image shows the gap in the ice on the ice island's southern side.  Looks to be about 5 km in 8 hours. Pretty nimble, if you ask me!  The winds are blowing, per Windy.com

I find it interesting that A68-A has move a little northward since the 11th, but the 'ice debris' south of it has mostly 'caught up' (Polarview 20180913T074523), so that icebergs are approximately the same distance from the ice island as they were on the 10th.  The ice-free (or apparently ice-free) area south of A68-A on the 11th has 'disappeared'.

Comparing with 19 July 2018 image above, A68-A has rotated about 50º in 6 weeks.
An additional 10º rotation, per yesterday's PolarView image, so 60º in 8 weeks.

Grounded?
Link from Maga,320 above has animation. Looks like the ridge extends underwater.


from here
My guess is the tides will rotate it around the grounding point, we're at first quarter[moon] so the tides will begin to pick up peaking again in a week or so maybe another 100 in two weeks time[?].

From Johnm33's link, the ridge on the left in my previous post is in the lower center below.  The Peninsula's tip is on the left.  Looks like a rocky ridge to me, but 'unrelated' to the "Rise" near where A68-A currently resides.  I think it is sure possible that the ice island is at least intermittently grounded in this current locale.

Well, we can look at the first Sentinel pictures of the year to try to answer this question. It looks like not much happened. The cracks in that opened when the berg was still attached are still there and the old cracks to the northeast didn't really open up. But one can see three small new cracks along the innermost old one... The effects of the repeated collisions between the berg and the shelf seem to be mostly limited to the (shelf) ice edge where ice was piled up.

The southern end of A68-A seems to have moved northeast, away from the coast, since 10/09/18, while the northern end has continued to rotate anti-clockwise, so the iceberg now looks to be free.

The questions are  "Does it sweep all before it?" or "Does the seaice back up behind it?" and "Will it continue rotating?" .

Looks like the ice that's broken off is grounded, and that the big one will have to pivot around the upper point once it's finished pivoting on the lower point.

Further to my previous post, here is a GIF showing the above referenced Sept. 16 image with this July 23 image showing no pivot points - A68-A is currently moving away from the Larsen C Ice Shelf (southeastward, about 14 km in 7 days).  From this view of just this one end, it looks like the whole ice island is continuing to rotate counter-clockwise (at least a little).

The iceberg and all the surrounding ice have drifted quite a distance southward in the last 2 days. I would estimate the distance ~5km.

A68-A has drifted southwestward this past month, with a little more (5º?) counter-clockwise rotation. [PolarView image from here]  The ice island has now rotated about 95º from when it first separated from the Larsen C Shelf (and, of course, the pivot-end has relocated northwards).

Arctic ice is healthy for children and other living things because "we cannot negotiate with the melting point of ice"

Rifts in the Larsen C Ice Shelf are evident in this 2018-10-20 Sentinel-hub Playground image.  The 'about-to-separate' iceberg looked about the same on 2018-02-28, and the 'propagating crack' looked even longer back then (but is clearer in some ways now).

The largest iceberg near A68-A is looking for some action (OR … has moved a lot since October - see above).  Chisel and hammer-stone   OR   Nut-cracker?  [PolarView image link]
