The Day After Tomorrow.
Februar 26, 2010 at 15:26 Offenbar ist gerade ein 2500 quadratkilometer großer Eisberg von der Antarktis abgebrochen. Not bad for a baby.
Scientists say a vast iceberg weighing billions of tonnes which broke off the Antarctic continent this month poses a potential threat to the circulation of the world's oceans.
They say the 2,500 square kilometre iceberg, floating south of Australia, could block an area that produces a quarter of the world's dense and very cold seawater, known as bottom water.
This water drives ocean currents, and scientists say weather patterns could be affected in decades to come.
