Here's another Ice island. Probably the polar bears are getting together as a team and breaking these chunks off. It couldn't possibly be rising sea levels and warming oceans. :)

Credit CBC news: A large parcel of ice has fractured from a massive ice shelf on Ellesmere Island, marking the third known case of Arctic ice loss this summer alone. The chunk of ice, which scientists estimate is roughly the size of Bermuda, broke away from the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf on the island's northern coast around Aug. 18, according to NASA satellite imagery. At 40 metres thick, the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf is estimated to be 3,000 to 5,000 years old, jutting off the island like an extension of the land.
