Iceberg 315 billion tonnes, bigger than Tirana

A giant iceberg has been cut off from Antarctica, and this is the largest break in the last 50 years.

Scientists have observed the phenomenon since the 2000 ' s, when it first took its toll.

Aisberg is 1636 square feet [136 sq m], (Tirana is 1110 square km), and this is a very important event not only for Antarctica but also for the global warming debate in general.

This ice block is known as the third largest in Antarctica, and a giant drain for the continent's mobile waters.

Although huge, the movement will not affect sea level because the ice has been in the water ahead. /tch
