Wilkins Ice Shelf Continues Disintegration in Winter

The European Space Agency reports Even the Antarctic winter cannot protect Wilkins Ice Shelf "Wilkins Ice Shelf has experienced further break-up with an area of about 160 km² breaking off from 30 May to 31 May 2008. ESA’s Envisat satellite captured the event – the first ever-documented episode to occur in winter."
