From MSNBC.com: Ancient ice shelf breaks free in Canadian Arctic
TORONTO - A giant ice shelf has snapped free from an island south of the North Pole, scientists said Thursday, citing climate change as a “major” reason for the event.

The Ayles Ice Shelf — all 41 square miles of it — broke clear 16 months ago from the coast of Ellesmere Island, about 500 miles south of the North Pole in the Canadian Arctic.

As I read about this event, I was reminded about a series of excellent articles written about how mankind is pushing the Earth's oceans to the brink and published in Mother Jones magazine. If you have the time, they are worth the read if only to educate yourself on how complex and intricate the oceans are. You can find them here.
