The Melbourne Age reports "A giant ice shelf the size of 11,000 football fields has snapped free from Canada's Arctic, scientists said.
The mass of ice broke clear 16 months ago from the coast of Ellesmere Island, about 800 kilometers south of the North Pole, but no one was present to see it in Canada's remote north."
My first thought was, "hey, here come the four horseman of the apocalypse" but then...
Um. It's meant to be a newspaper. Did it really take scientists 16 months to notice this? Or is it being mentioned now for a reason?
