Canada's 4,000-year-old last intact Arctic ice shelf collapses due to warming

Most part of Cana’s remaining intact ice shelf has been broken apart. According to reports, this is due to hot summer and global warming that Cana’s 4,000-year-old Milne Ice Shelf is w just mere iceberg. In late July, ice analyst rienne White of Canian Ice Service ticed that satellite photos showed that 43% of ice has been broken. She said it happened around July 30 or 31.

Global warming and its consequences 

Reports suggest that after breaking of ice shelf, two giant icebergs along with lots of smaller icebergs have come out. However, y have started drifting away. biggest iceberg is 21 square miles and 7 square miles long, which is almost like size of Manhattan. y are also 230 to 260 feet thick.

rienne White told AP, “This is a huge, huge block of ice. “If one of se is moving toward an oil rig, re’s thing you can really do aside from move your oil rig”. Reportedly, University of Ottawa glaciology professor Luke Copland said that temperatures from May to early August in region have been 9 degrees warmer than 1980 to 2010 aver. This is on top of Arctic that is warming much faster than any part of globe. However, this region is considered to be warming even faster.

Copland said, “Without a doubt, it’s climate change. “ Milne was very special,” he ded. “It’s an amazingly pretty location. Ice shelves are hundreds to thousands of years old, thicker than long-term sea ice, but t as big and old as glaciers”. Initially, 72-square mile white ice shelf dotted with blue meltwater used to be larger than District of Columbia, however w it is just 41 square miles.
