Climate Change: Largest Arctic Ice Shelf Breaks

"The largest ice shelf in the Northern Hemisphere has broken in two, draining a freshwater lake beneath the ice and providing further evidence of climate change in the Earth's Arctic reaches, scientists said yesterday...The Ward Hunt Shelf was the largest remaining piece of an ice shelf that a century ago rimmed the entire northern coast of Canada's Ellesmere Island, the northernmost land mass in North America, the researchers said in an upcoming article in Geophysical Research Letters."
