Ancient ice shelf snaps and breaks free from the Canadian Arctic STEVE
LILLEBUEN (CP) - A giant ice shelf the size of 11,000 football fields has
snapped free from Canada's Arctic, leaving a trail of icy boulders floating
in its wake.

[...]

They are packed with ancient ice that dates back over 3000 years, and
scientists like Vincent treat their loss as a sign that the global climate
is crossing an unprecedented threshold.

ok so there is a bit of bias in the article, I mean 3000 years isn't really
"ancient" in terms of ice (100K year old ice is not uncommon) but
still this is pretty cool.
