“Wilkins is the largest ice shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula yet to be threatened. "I didn't expect to see things happen this quickly. The ice shelf is hanging by a thread - we'll know in the next few days or weeks what its fate will be.”

A chunk of ice the size of the Isle of Man has broken away from Antarctica in what scientists believe is further evidence of a warming climate. via BBC
