An enormous iceberg tore away from Greenland glacier on Monday. This
shows incredible video shows how much the glacier has lost over the past
few years
An ice chunk twice the size of Manhattan broke off of Greenland last week, in another sign of Arctic warming.
The 46-square-mile piece of the Petermann Glacier in Greenland
“calved” away from the mainland on Monday. It tore along a crack in the
glacier that researchers have been watching for years.
Another iceberg twice its size (i.e., four times the size of Manhattan) broke off the same glacier in 2010.
This striking video by
New Scientist
shows the damage Petermann has sustained over the past few years. A
time-lapse gives a dramatic display of the earliest loss from the
glacier (beginning in 2009).
