| 0:00.0 | Here's a man who spends hours in hardware stores, sitting through the nuts and bolts of life. Joe Sushiro. |
| 0:30.0 | So pardon. 70 degrees. |
| 0:37.0 | A large iceberg is cracked off its base. It's an asteristic. It's said to weigh a trillion |
| 0:52.0 | tons. I don't know how that would be determined. This is from the Metro in the UK. Trillion-ton |
| 0:58.0 | iceberg four times the size of London starts to spin towards the ocean. It's not really |
| 1:04.0 | spinning. It's turning counterclockwise. Last year the iceberg A68 broke. I bring this up because I'm |
| 1:11.9 | I'm puzzled as if I'm supposed to be hysterical or not. Okay. Last year the iceberg A68 broke off |
| 1:18.9 | Antarctic as Larsen sea ice shelf after years of cracks spreading across the ice, but it's |
| 1:23.9 | remained stuck. But now it's on the move. According to Professor Mark Brandon of the open |
| 1:30.4 | university, whatever that is, who says the iceberg will not be stopped easily. Yeah, you're right. |
| 1:35.9 | You're not going to go out there in a 12 foot aluminum boat and put your hand on it. Right or a |
| 1:39.3 | hook, you know, one of those hooks. Brandon writes on his log that in July the weather conditions and |
| 1:44.0 | ocean currents conspired to swing the trillion tons of the giant iceberg A68 in an anti-clockwise |
| 1:49.8 | direction. Sentinel one S.A.R. satellite imagery from 29 August 2018 shows that to the north of the |
| 1:57.5 | iceberg, the wind is pushing the sea ice northwards faster than the iceberg is rotating. |
| 2:03.7 | My guess is that A68 A will continue rotating as it is now around that western point until |
| 2:09.2 | what is currently the northern edge collides with the Larsen sea ice front. So far, I'm not worried. |
| 2:14.5 | Anybody worried? What's going to happen when it hits it? Just nudge up against it and settle in. |
| 2:18.9 | I guess whatever it wants to do with these things together. It has a spectacular amount of |
| 2:23.5 | momentum and it's not going to be stopped. I should think we will see some interesting collisions |
| 2:28.6 | with the ice shelf in the next few months. Okay. A huge crack has been spreading across the Antarctic |
| 2:34.5 | Larsen sea shelf for many years, but it began accelerating late last year. But no mention of, |
