Ok, here's the actual facts. The story was reported on ABC's World News Tonight, so you can probably find it on ABCnews.com. What happened was a 41 mile long piece of ice shelf broke off of Canada in about an hour and a half. This event was unprecedented in recorded history and one more sign of global warming. I could go into more detail, but I'll just let you hear the report from Charles Gibson because he tells it better than I do.

took some doing, but I found it for you. I saw the story about it a while back, but couldn't find it again...so here's a link to another story. Actually, it wasn't in antartica...it was in the northern pole - in Canada. Many iceburgs break off in Antartica too, but this 41 mile one wasn't there.

You'll have more luck looking for glacier. I think this is the one you want:
