Antarctica - "Iceberg 10 times bigger than Manhattan falls into Sea"
US Scientists reported yesterday that a large iceberg fell into the sea in the past two weeks. Full story is on Reuters.
Unlike the shelf which broke away recently (but which was already floating in the ocean), this report seems to indicate that the new ice has fallen into the ocean - perhaps with implications for sea levels around the world. This may be of much more importance than any other story around at the moment if it indicates that things in Antarctica are beginning to move rather faster than is comfortable.
