Ice sheet breaks loose in Canada
| Quote From Source: | A 19-square-mile ice shelf in Canada's northern Arctic has broken away from Ellesmere Island, surprising scientists who say the floating ice shelf is another dramatic indication of how warmer temperatures are changing the polar frontier.
Dr. Luke Copland, director of the Laboratory for Cryospheric Research at the University of Ottawa, says reduced sea ice conditions and unusually high air temperatures have hastened the ice shelf loss this summer.

Because ice never breaks off under any other conditions. :-)
