The ice that size almost as big as the City of New York separated from the South Pole to be icebergs this month. This happened after the fall of a bridge because the ice is estimated that global warming, according to a scientist on Tuesday (28 / 4).
"Ice field north of the Wilkins Ice shelf stable and does not become a cloud of ice float was first released," said Angelika Humbert, glacier expert at the University of Muenster in Germany explain matter images from the shelf satellite European Space Agency.
Humbert told Reuters on the ice covering approximately 700 square kilometers, larger than Singapore or Bahrain and almost as big as New York City-have had been separated from this month and Wilkins broken into pieces. He says, ice covering 370 square kilometers was broken in the last days of the Wilkins Ice shelf, the last of about 10 in the shelf shrink the Antarctic Peninsula in a trend that is connected by the UN Climate Panel on global warming. Clumps of ices that add a new 330 sq km offshore the ice this month with the failure of a bridge holding ice shelf between Wilkins Charcot Island and Antarctic Peninsula. Nine other shelf-ice that floats on the sea and the beach-related around the Antarctic Peninsula has been shrink or fall apart in the last 50 years, such as the Larsen A shelf in 1995 or Larsen B in 2002. This trend is considered caused by climate change due to fossil fuel gases that trap heat, said David Vaughan, British Antarctic Surveys scientists.
