Thanks for posting it Twyn, it's an amazing sight.   From what is being said about it, it's the third one from the same area in the last few years to break off.  It's enormous.

Makes me think about the movie The Day After Tomorrow. Tis a bit worrying.

Too bad they can't hook up to it and tow it to the Sahara.

that's one big block of ice....it or bits of it will remain a shipping hazard for quite some time by the sounds of it
