Ice shelf break away from Antartic

There is this ice shelf that anchored to the antartic coast. It is coming quickly and the ice bridge could break away soon. The Paris agency showed satellite images show the bridge that connects the Wilkins Ice Shelf to Charcot and Latady Islands. Those places were said to like they were going to collapse. The beginning of what appears to be the destruction of the ice bridge began this week. It began when new rifts appeared and a large block of ice broke away. The Wilkins Ice Shelf looks like the rest of Antarctic's ice sheet. This shelf was formed by thousands of years of accumulated and compacted snow. It had been stable for most of the last century before it began retreating in the 1990s. That's what the statement said. This shelf came from Jamaica or the U.S. state of Connecticut. It is located on the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula. This thrusts up from the continent toward the southern tip of South America. This shelf was originally covering somewhere around 5000 square miles. This is also around 13000 kilometers. The ice shelf lost 14 percent of its mass last year alone. There were 2 2008 incidents. These incidents were large chunks of the ice bridge falling away. It was shaving it down to just 985 yards (900 meters) across at its narrowest. This is what the statement said. That's all I know.
