🧪 Glacier & Iceberg Calving

This simulation demonstrates the process of calving, where large chunks of ice break off from glaciers and icebergs due to stresses within the ice. It illustrates the fundamental physics of fracturing materials under pressure, a key concept in understanding glacial dynamics.
