A piece of ice the size of 41 square miles and 11,000 times larger than a football field broke off in Northern Canada yesterday. The break was so powerful that the radar to detect earthquakes picked up the signal.
Here is the video from space.

Ice age melt down?
I believe it broke off 18 months ago. But it took them a long time to find out by looking at satalite pictures and then to confirm it. they announded it happening at this time.
I guess the got the date of breaking off from seismic data.
It occured on August 13, 2005

Look on the bright side! That’s a lot of ice for martinis!
I suppose that it will be consequence of the increment of world temperature. With a couple of grades more I suppose that big masses of ice will melt and the sea level will go up (time: 2 or 3 centuries). I am happy of living near a good chain of mountains, we don´t have this type of problems.
