Poor things.
Contemplation for St Davids Day.

Great animation, certainly gives one an idea of the scale of the thing, thanks!

The Worlds largest Iceberg (B15a, the size of Manhatten Island)75 miles long, has broken free and is floating South again.
10,000 Penquins can feed again, but its liable to become a danger to shipping.

Earth must be warming up, as yet another huge Iceberg (A53) has calved off and slipped into the sea.This one is 16 X 35 miles long, and is twice the size of Dallas.

And if you worry about such things, dont even check out Greenland. A glacier there is moving at the rate of 7 miles per year, into the sea.
