A piece of Antarctica twice the size of New York City may soon break off

(CNN)Antarctica’s going to lose a big chunk of itself. Like a Big Apple-size chunk.

Cracking in a section of the Brunt Ice Shelf will break off a 660-square-mile section from the continent, NASA says.
That would create an iceberg more than twice the size of New York City (which measures about 302 square miles).
