Antarctic Ice Chunk Seven Times the Size Manhatten Collapses
A chunk of Antarctic ice about seven times the size of Manhattan suddenly collapsed, putting an even greater portion of glacial ice at risk, scientists said Tuesday.
Satellite images show the runaway disintegration of a 160-square-mile chunk in western Antarctica, which started Feb. 28. It was the edge of the Wilkins ice shelf and has been there for hundreds, maybe 1,500 years.
This is the result of global warming, said British Antarctic Survey scientist David Vaughan.
Because scientists noticed satellite images within hours, they diverted satellite cameras and even flew an airplane over the ongoing collapse for rare pictures and video.
“It’s an event we don’t get to see very often,” said Ted Scambos, lead scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colo. “The cracks fill with water and slice off and topple… That gets to be a runaway situation.”

NORTH DAKOTA’S FIRST EDGE ECO-FRIENDLY PRESCHOOL
More and more Americans are becoming aware of earth friendly products and services and now, North Dakota has its
Children’s Garden Preschool of North Dakota is Now EDGE Licensed
Owners Sara and Shaun Brentrup went through a licensing process with a national company called The Early Development of Global Education, LLC to be certified as an ecologically-friendly school. They will hold an open house April 22, which is Earth Day, from 5 to 6:30 p.m. The public is invited to tour the classrooms and learn about the eco-friendly products in use at the school.
The Children’s Garden School is located in the northwest corner of Zion Lutheran Church, located at 1800 Hiawatha St. The church was built in 2006. Since it’s a new building, it was easier for the preschool to meet EDGE’s licensure requirements, said Sara Brentrup. For instance, the sinks and toilets in the preschool classrooms were already low-flow, so they didn’t use as much water.
A number of the other requirements were things the Brentrups were already doing; others were easy adjustments to make.
