Weighing in at between 30 and 40 million tons, a giant iceberg has won last Tuesday of the Tasman , the longest glacier New Zealand, before plunging into the lake environment. (...) The earthquake, whose epicenter was located 150 kilometers, has resulted in the corner a few oscillations a minute. It is therefore unclear that the fall of the block is directly related to the phenomenon. Moreover, it seems that people already expected for some time that separates the glacier iceberg sooner or later. " Presumably, if any, that the earthquake precipitated the fall of the block, but the fact is just the tip of the glacier was ready to break up ", told the AFP Richard McNamara, head of department for this region.
