The calving of A-68, the 5,800 km2 iceberg that separated from the Larsen C Ice Shelf in July 2017, presents a unique and time-sensitive research opportunity. This event and other ice-shelf losses (e.g., from Larsen A and B, Wilkins, Wordie) are harbingers of warming effects along the Antarctic Peni...
