A handout satellite image taken April 27, 2009 of the Wilkins Ice Shelf in Antarctica shows icebergs covering an area of 700 sq kms (270 sq miles) -- almost the size of New York City -- that have broken off this month after the collapse of an ancient ice bridge between Charcot Island and the shelf.
