| Huge Antarctic Ice Sheet on Verge of Collapse Wednesday, March 26, 2008 Fox News ![]() An image of the Wilkins Ice Shelf disintegration taken from the British Antarctic Survey's Twin Otter aircraft reconnaissance flight. Satellite images reveal that a large chunk of the Wilkins ice shelf fell into the ocean sometime around the end of February, suggesting that climate change could be causing it to disintegrate faster than scientists had predicted. The 160-square-mile piece, about seven times the size of Manhattan, had been attached to Antarctica for hundreds, or maybe even 1,500 years. Scientists fear that the entire Wilkins shelf, more than 6,000 square miles, could be next. |
