The Larsen A Ice Shelf is a floating ice shelf located on the northeastern coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. It is part of the larger Larsen Ice Shelf system and has been monitored for changes due to climate conditions. The ice shelf plays a crucial role in stabilizing the glaciers behind it, preventing them from flowing more rapidly into the ocean. In 1995, the Larsen A Ice Shelf experienced a significant collapse, which was attributed to rising temperatures and changing ocean currents. This event raised concerns about the impact of climate change on ice shelves in Antarctica and their contribution to global sea level rise.
