EcoAlert: Massive Greenland Glacier Sheds a 100 Square-Mile Ice Island: "'In the early morning hours of August 5, 2010, an ice island four times the size of Manhattan was born in northern Greenland,' said Andreas Muenchow, associate professor of physical ocean science and engineering at the University of Delaware's College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment reporting observations of the massive Petermann Glacier. Muenchow's research is in Nares Strait, between Greenland and Canada."
