Huge Ice chunk breaks off in Arctic
So a chunk of ice spreading across seven square miles has broken off a Canadian ice shelf in the Arctic. See in the pic. below…..
Lookat that….ice sheet is shown drifting after it separated from the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf off the north coast of Ellesmere Island in Canada’s far north on Sunday July 27, 2008. Its biggest piece shed by one of Canada’s six ice shelves since the Ayles shelf broke loose in 2005 from the coast of Ellesmere, about 500 miles from the North Pole.
The sheet is the biggest piece shed by one of Canada’s six ice shelves since the Ayles shelf broke loose in 2005 from the coast of Ellesmere, about 500 miles from the North Pole. Formed by accumulating snow and freezing melt water, ice shelves are large platforms of thick, ancient sea ice that float on the ocean’s surface. Ellesmere Island was once entirely ringed by a single enormous ice shelf that broke up in the early 1900s. Scientists do not blame it on global warming but that the current Arctic climate isn’t rebuilding ice sheets.

I think temp. is going up. global warming is indirectly responsible for this. no rebuilding and melting doesn’t have much difference.
Yes simran ..this seems the correct to me.
what to worry dear.as long as i dont run into it, then im cool
I read stories online..that was’nt supposed to happen until at least 2023, so global warming is speeding up.
Happy I am more concerned about polar ice caps melting and ocean water levels creeping higher every year…this is what the real threat is in coming times.
great business opurtunity…hell yeah! that’s just the beginning. It’s time to invest in the house boat industry.
that’s the beauty of nature. why think otherwise guys. Part of nature’s makeover.
