| An Antarctic ice shelf the size of a small
country has disintegrated under the impact of global warming,
scientists said March 19, 2002. Although scientists at the British
Antarctic Survey predicted four years ago the eventual
disintegration of the giant Larsen B ice shelf -- 1,255 square miles
and 655 feet deep -- they were astounded by the speed of the break
up. This satellite image shows the progression of collapse of the
Larsen shelf between 1995 and March, 2002. Pictured area is
approximately 300x300 km. Photo by Reuters
