A chunk of Antarctic ice about the size of Manhattan suddenly
collapsed in late March as a result of global warming. The Wilkins
Ice Shelf, a 160 square-mile chunk located in western Antarctica,
began to show signs of deterioration via satellite images on
February 28. Scientists had thought that the Wilkins shelf would
collapse about 15 years from now. These occurrences are more
"indicative of a tipping point or trigger in the climate system, "
said Sarah Das, a scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institute. "These are things that are not re-forming," Das said.
"So once they are gone, they're gone."
