Filmmaker Alex Cornell sighted an iceberg that was flipped over while in Antarctica. Cornell shot the photos at Cierva Cove on the Antarctic Peninsula last December on an expedition through the Drake Passage. Apparently the sighting is very rare claimed the glacial scientist aboard the ship Cornell was on.
This led to further inquiry on Antarctic Sea ice reaching new high temperatures due to the continent's warming. “Antarctic sea ice in 2014 is going to set a record for sure,” said Ted Scambos, a senior scientist with the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colorado. The melting of this Arctic ice is connected with the overall warming of the planet. With the loss of the reflective white ice, and more darker ocean space, the earth is experiencing warmer temperatures.
