Huge Arctic Ice Shelf Breaks Off

Posted by samzenpus on from the getting-warmer dept.

knarfling writes "CNN is reporting that a chunk of ice shelf nearly the size of Manhattan has broken away from Ellesmere Island in Canada's northern Arctic. Just last month 21 square miles of ice broke free from the Markham Ice Shelf.
