490-Square-Mile Iceberg Breaks Off Antarctica

A large chunk of ice has broken off Antarctica's Brunt Ice Shelf, covering 490 square miles. British researchers have been expecting this event for years, as the last significant ice break in the area occurred in the early 1970s. Experts clarify that this event is not related to global warming but is part of a natural process where ice from the land meets the ocean.
