A giant iceberg about the size of Delaware that had been under scientists’ watch has broken off an ice shelf on the Antarctic peninsula and is now adrift in the Weddell Sea.

Well, I am low on ice...
Think what that water could do for those thirsty Arab farmers. Drop a couple of diesels on the back and take it to the gulf.
