CTOnews.com, December 17 (Xinhua)-- magnificent shots from space recently show giant floating icebergs in the South Atlantic and reveal the grim reality that global warming is accelerating the melting of glaciers. European Space Agency astronaut Andreas Andreas Mogensen recently took amazing photos of icebergs from the International Space Station (ISS) and shared them on social media platforms.
"I admit that if I had been asked before this mission if I could see icebergs from space with the naked eye, I would have said,'No way! 'but it turns out you can! we have seen a lot of icebergs in the South Atlantic recently," Morgensen wrote in the post. "maybe it's their unique geometry, maybe it's the contrast of colors, but they're very conspicuous from space."
CTOnews.com noted that Morgensen's photos showed three significantly larger icebergs and several other fragments, which were probably formed by icebergs breaking as they crossed the ocean. From the vantage point of the space station, the photo shows the partially submerged part of the iceberg and the waves crashing against the visible part of the iceberg floating on the sea surface.
"seeing icebergs floating reminds me of climate change, glaciers are melting rapidly and sea levels are rising," Morgensen said in a post. "places like the Maldives are likely to be flooded by rising water in 70 years' time."
Sea-level rise is mainly due to melting glaciers, but the melting of floating icebergs can also dilute the ocean and reduce its density, leading to sea-level rise.
In recent years, astronauts and Earth observation satellites have discovered several remarkable icebergs. The world's largest iceberg, A23a, has recently been found floating out of Antarctic waters after being stranded for more than 30 years. Melting thinns the icebergs, giving them extra buoyancy and drifting away from the bottom of the sea toward the South Atlantic.
Views from the sky can help scientists track the drift path of icebergs on Earth, and artificial intelligence technology is also used to quickly identify giant icebergs in satellite images. to help monitor changes in the size, shape and movement of icebergs over time, as well as their impact on the environment.
Morgensen's photos are not only amazing, but also remind us of the urgency of paying attention to climate change. The melting of glaciers will not only affect sea levels, but also change ocean current patterns and have a profound impact on the global climate.
