Say No To Crack

This is a BIG Crack.
Although it may not seem impressive, that little line up there is, in fact, 18 miles long, 180 feet deep, and up to 800 feet across in some places...YA...That's big.

It was spotted by Scientists in the Pine Island Glacier of Antarctica, which has been losing ice at a rate of about 6 meters per year. Scientists say cracks are common, but this still is a big event, and even more rare to catch it as quick as they did...story below.
