[Phys-l] Antarctic Ice Shelf Falling Apart




Average temperatures in the Antarctic Peninsula have risen by 3.8 degrees
Fahrenheit over the past 50 years — higher than the average global rise,
according to studies.
Over the next several weeks, scientists estimate the Wilkins shelf will
lose some 1,300 square miles — a piece larger than the state of Rhode Island,
or two-thirds the size of Luxembourg.
