Webcam of Wilkins Ice Shelf

As you may have heard, a huge chunk of Antarctic ice called the Wilkins Ice Shelf – it’s roughly the size of Scotland – is expected to break away at any moment from the island to which it has been tethered for hundreds if not thousands of years. The European Space Agency has a “webcam” fixed on the Shelf and is “monitoring the developments immediately as they occur.” You can see it here.
