 | | Thinning of the Larsen Ice Shelf - vast sections of which collapsed catastrophically during the 1990s - was discovered by scientists at the University of Cambridge, University College London, University of Bristol and the Instituto Antörtico Argentino. |
| | The floating Larsen Ice Shelf fringes the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula at the northernmost reaches of the continent, and for several decades its gradually warming climate and episodes of wholesale ice shelf disintegration have been the subject of much scientific debate. |
| | The Larsen Ice Shelf melting is releasing vast quantities of ice-cold water into the worlds oceans - equivalent to a staggering eight times the River Thames yearly outflow - creating a disturbance that may have wider implications for patterns of global ocean circulation. |
