Yahoo!: “A massive iceberg larger than Manhattan has broken away from the floating end of a Greenland glacier this week.”
Planet Save: “A massive ice island in the region, which is almost double the size of Manhattan, is no more joining with the Greenland’s massive Peterman Glacier.”
Gulf News: “Iceberg twice Manhattan’s size breaks off Greenland glacier.”
BBC: “It is not a collapse but it is certainly a significant event,” Eric Rignot from Nasa said in a statement.
