Excerpt
One of the biggest icebergs on record has broken away from the Antarctic Peninsula, providing a glimpse of how the Antarctic ice sheet might ultimately start to fall apart. The iceberg, which is roughly the size of the US state of Delaware [or bigger than Cebu Island], has been close to breaking off for a few months.
