An Antarctic ice shelf the size of a small country has disintegrated under the impact of global warming, scientists said March 19, 2002. Although scientists at the British Antarctic Survey predicted four years ago the eventual disintegration of the giant Larsen B ice shelf -- 1,255 square miles and 655 feet deep -- they were astounded by the speed of the break up. This satellite image shows the progression of collapse of the Larsen shelf between 1995 and March, 2002. Pictured area is approximately 300x300 km. Photo by Reuters
