"Australian and international scientists have used satellite imagery to
chronicle the collapse of a New York City-sized ice shelf in Antarctica,
shedding light on key processes linked to future sea level rise.

Since the mid-1990s, about 10 ice shelves have been observed rapidly
disintegrating in West Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula.

But two years ago, scientists documented a similar event taking place in East
Antarctica — an area previously considered far more stable."
