Wilkins Ice Shelf off the Antarctic Peninsula last month may be
part of an accelerating pattern of climate change in the region.
Thats the conclusion that scientists are drawing after more
than 400 square kilometers of ice sloughed off the southwestern
front of the ice shelf. A series of satellite images processed at

that has become characteristic of climate-caused ice shelf retreats
throughout the northern Peninsula area, according to NSIDC scientists.....(more)

You would just have to go back in time by about 200 to 250 million
years for such a pleasant, surreal stroll.
