Ice bridge ruptures in Antarctic
An ice bridge linking a shelf of ice the size of Jamaica to two islands in Antarctica has snapped.
Scientists say the collapse could mean the Wilkins Ice Shelf is on the brink of breaking away, and provides further evidence or rapid change in the region. Sited on the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula, the Wilkins shelf has been retreating since the 1990s. Researchers regarded the ice bridge as an important barrier, holding the remnant shelf structure in place.
Its removal will allow ice to move more freely between Charcot and Latady islands, into the open ocean.
It would be funny if it wasn't so dangerous to peddle what amounts to disinformation. It is clear and undisputed that the overall mass of ice in the Antarctic is not falling; rather, it hit a 30-year HIGH in 2007.
The MSM, however, failed to mention this at all, preferring to focus on the Arctic shelves which are decreasing. But, now that one shelf in the Antarctic is reducing in size, the bandwagon is again looking to the south pole to report on the dangers of 'man-made global warming'.
Big secret...the ice caps change vastly throughout the seasons...they are something like one-third the size in summer as they are in winter. So melting ice, and icebergs, are very much the norm; only, there's no media around to report the boring bit, when it all freezes back over again in winter.
