(PhysOrg.com) -- An ice bridge connecting the Wilkins Ice Shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula to Charcot Island has disintegrated. The event continues a series of breakups that began in March 2008 on the ice shelf, and highlights the effect that climate change is having on the region. http://www.physorg.com/news158428139.html Space & Earth Wed, 08 Apr 2009 16:50:14 EST news158428139 (PhysOrg.com) -- New rifts have developed on the Wilkins Ice Shelf that could lead to the opening of the ice bridge that has been preventing the ice shelf from disintegrating and breaking away from the Antarctic Peninsula. http://www.physorg.com/news147094723.html Space & Earth Fri, 28 Nov 2008 11:38:43 EST news147094723 The Wilkins Ice Shelf is experiencing further disintegration that is threatening the collapse of the ice bridge connecting the shelf to Charcot Island. Since the connection to the island in the image centre helps to stabilise the ice shelf, it is likely the break-up of the bridge will put the remainder of the ice shelf at risk. http://www.physorg.com/news134908534.html Space & Earth Thu, 10 Jul 2008 11:35:34 EST news134908534
