When I'd heard this, in a sleep-hazed, all-night-news fog, I thought they'd said "Antarctic," and that they were referring to the Larsen shelf that broke up earlier this year. Wrong.
http://www.cbc.ca/stories/2003/09/23/ice_arctic030923 "...RADARSAT images picked up the first sign of cracking in April 2000. At some points the crack was 80 metres wide. Ice has floated on the sea for at least 3,000 years... "...Local warming since the 19th century is to blame for the breakup. Atmospheric warming has been named a cause of a collapsing ice shelf in the West Antarctic, but scientists don't have enough evidence to link the Arctic melting to global climate change..."
