Here's the ( remnant ) Wilkins Ice Shelf as of yesterday, with Jamaica pasted on for comparison. ( The comparison is not exact because of distortion in these images, but in this case it's pretty close. ) BTW, it's virtually always cloudy there, so this is a pretty good view, as it goes. You can see the two large embayments to the left which over the course of the last several season have pretty much eaten away the ice shelf. The bridge they've been talking about is to the round island at the top. Last year it was very narrow and they thought it would break then. This is not a seasonal change. The Wilkins Ice Shelf had been a permanent structure.
For a bit of context....90% of Antarctica has actually been cooling. This particular area which has a more active than usual subterranean oceanic volcano has warmed some. But let's not let the facts get in the way of a good conniption.
