Collapse of Antarctic Ice Shelf Unprecedented
The Antarctic Peninsula is undergoing greater warming than almost anywhere on Earth, a condition perhaps associated with human-induced greenhouse effects. According to the cover article published by Geosciences Professor Eugene Domack in the August 4, 2005 issue of the journal Nature, the spectacular collapse of Antarctica's Larsen B Ice Shelf, is unprecedented during the past 10,000 years.

Ecosystem Beneath a Collapsed Antarctic Ice Shelf Discovered
The chance discovery of a vast ecosystem beneath the collapsed Larsen Ice Shelf will allow scientists to explore the uncharted life below Antarctica's floating ice shelves and further probe the origins of life in extreme environments. Researchers on the 2005 expedition discovered the sunless habitat after reviewing a recent underwater video study examining a deep glacial trough in the northwestern Weddell Sea following the sudden Larsen B shelf collapse in 2002.
