A gigantic iceberg has broken off from the Amery Ice Shelf in East Antarctica. The iceberg, named D-28, is over 600 square miles in area, which is bigger than the city of Los Angeles. It's equal to about 27 Manhattan Islands. The berg separated from the ice shelf last week, on Sept. 26, next to another wobbly chunk of ice called the “Loose Tooth," because it appeared to be precariously attached. “We first noticed a rift at the front of the ice shelf in the early 2000s and predicted a large iceberg would break off between 2010-15,” said Scripps’ Institute of Oceanography professor Helen Amanda Fricker in a statement released by the Australian Arctic Division. 😱☃️

North Korea fired a ballistic missile toward the sea Wednesday, South Korea's military said, in a display of its expanding military capabilities hours after saying it would resume nuclear diplomacy with the United States this weekend. South Korean officials said the missile was fired from North Korea's eastern waters, suggesting it may have been submarine-launched. But South Korean defense officials won't officially disclose whether the missile was fired from a submarine, a barge or any other possible platform. North Korea having the ability to launch missiles from submarines would be alarming because such weapons are harder to detect in advance. North Korea is known to have developed and tested at least one nuclear-capable SLBM - the Pukguksong-1 - and has carried out several test-launches of its successor, the Pukguksong-2. 😱🚀
