Toronto, Canada (AHN) - Scientists on Wednesday said that the breaking of a chunk of ice shelf nearly the size of Manhattan in Ellesmere Island in Canada's northern Arctic is a clear indication of how temperatures are warming the polar frontier.
Arctic ice shelf specialist Derek Mueller of the Trent University in Ontario, Canada said the 19-square-mile shelf is now drifting in the Arctic Ocean after breaking loose in early August. The chunk of ice sheet was part of the 4,500-year-old Markham Ice Shelf.
He adds the event underscores how rapid changes are taking place in the Arctic due to global warming.
