Nasa published some impressive satellite images of a giant iceberg the size of Long Island that is on a collision course with a floating glacier in Antarctica. The scientists say the 100-mile-long iceberg, dubbed B-15 A, is set to crash into the Drygalski Ice Tongue near the McMurdo Research Station on the coast of Antarctica by the end of this week.

"It's a clash of the titans, a radical and uncommon event," said Robert Bindshadler, a researcher at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, which has been tracking the iceberg's movement.

Get ready for the Antarctic Smackdown
