Sorry… here’s a little more info…

“New evidence has emerged that a large plate of floating ice shelf attached to Antarctica is breaking up, in a troubling sign of global warming, the European Space Agency (ESA) said on Thursday”

Could this be related? Seems logical to me!

[...] One important exception to this rule is the Antarctic Peninsula, which has warmed by several degrees, in part because winds there draw in warmer air from the north.But they fail to recognize any potential volcanic impacts, Such as the Seal Nunataks under the Ross Ice Shelf. See more on that and other Antarctic volcanism here. [...]

I never knew such a thing, i thought that only globalwarming waz affecting the ice sheets of the arctic and the antarctic to melt. Volacanoes never came up to my head and now I see that volcanoes cause more effect on the ice sheets melting then global warming.

Oh, gimme a break - Antarctic Ice loss indeed:

The full Wilkins 6,000 square mile ice shelf is just 0.39% of the current Antarctic ice cover (just 0.1% of the extent last September). A very small piece broke off as an iceberg (37 square miles). Then only a small portion of it around 160 square miles partially disintegrated late this February into early March. That represents just 2.67% of the full Wilkins ice sheet and 0.01% of the total Antarctic icecover (0.003% of its level last September), a little like an icicle falling from a snow and ice cover roof. No big deal (unless you are standing beneath it).

And this winter is coming on quickly. Satellite images show the ice has already refrozen around the broken pieces and expanded. In fact the ice is returning so fast, it is running an amazing 60% ahead (4.0 vs 2.5 million square km extent) of last year when it set a new record. The ice extent is already approaching the second highest level for extent since the measurements began by satellite in 1979 and just a few days into the Southern Hemisphere fall season and 6 months ahead of the peak. Wilkins like all the others that temporarily broke up will refreeze soon. We are very likely going to exceed last year’s record. Yet the world is left with the false impression Antarctica’s ice sheet is also starting to disappear.

“At the consideration of our comparative insignificance”

Mt. Erebus, discovered by Captain James Ross in 1841 and named after one of Her Majesty’s Antarctic discovery ships under his command, was first climbed on March 10, 1908, by a party of geologists and scientists from Ernest Shackleton’s 1907-09
