Iceberg looks like Big Chill
A new massive iceberg is breaking off from Antarctica's Ross Ice Shelf, reports the University of Wisconsin. The iceberg is near record-size at 295 kilometres long and 37 kilometers wide. The new iceberg may soon be adrift in the Ross Sea and is much larger than the one that broke away last year and posed a hazard to ships rounding Cape Horn. To find photos and more information on the iceberg go to http://www.news.wisc.edu/newsphotos/iceberg or http://uwamrc.ssec.wisc.edu/amrc/iceberg.html.
