ANTARTICA-LARSEN-B-ICESHELF


Picture taken 26 July 2006 during the RV 'Polarstern'-expedition ANTXXIII/8 in the Weddell Sea shows a drifting Plateau Iceberg piece
in very calm water. The collapse of two ice shelves in Antarctica has exposed an exquisite seabed ecosystem, including species of crustaceans and marine anemones that had never been identified, researchers said 25 February. The insight into Antarctica's hidden marine world came from the breakup of the Larsen A and B ice shelves, 12 and five years ago respectively, that later formed huge icebergs.
