Despite a recent trend of disbelief toward
global warming, Mother Nature has just made herself clear.
A giant, trillion-tonne iceberg hasjust broken
away from Antarctic ice shelf, and it’s an alarm we should all be heeding.
The iceberg, which has an area of roughly 4
times the size of London at 5800 km2, was part of an ice sheet known as Larsen
C.
Researchers at Swansea University had been
watching the glacial divide for months, and using satellite imaging, they were
able to determine that the iceberg ‘calved’ (broke away) from Antarctica
sometime between July 10th and 12th.
