We monitor optically the propagation of a slow interfacial mode III crack along a heterogeneous weak interface and compare it to mode I loading. Pinning and depinning of the front on local toughness asperities within the process zone are the main mechanisms for fracture roughening. Geometrical properties of the fracture fronts are derived in the framework of self-affine scale invariance and Family-Vicsek scaling.
