WASHINGTON (AP) - An iceberg about twice the size of Delaware has
broken off from the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica and could drift into
shipping lanes around the South Polar region. The elongated iceberg,
detected by satellites, measures 183 miles by 22 miles and is among
the largest ever observed, according to the National Science
Foundation, which coordinates American research at the South Pole.


I'll predict that within the next 20 years, these newly created giant
icebergs will be 'harvested' as a fresh water source.
