File:Fragments of Larsen B Ice Shelf Lingered Until 2005.gif

English: The first image was taken one year after the disintegration. Although not frozen solid, the bay is filled with mélange and icebergs, some of them tens of kilometres long. A thin corridor of open ocean, however, lines much of the remaining ice shelf. In the second image, ice continues to fill the bay, and even more ice appears in this image than is visible in the previous shot. Lingering mélange (small chunks of glacier ice and snow, sometimes mixed with sea ice) and icebergs have likely been supplemented by snow and sea ice. The difference between the last image and earlier shots is dramatic. Most of the ice that had lingered in the bay after the Larsen B’s collapse has drifted out to sea, and open ocean predominates. Isolated chunks of ice float on the sea surface far from the remaining edge of the shelf.
