COPENHAGEN, Denmark - An enormous chunk of Greenland’s ice cap has broken off in the far northeastern Arctic, a development that scientists say is evidence of rapid climate change.The glacier section that broke off is 110 square kilometers (42.3 square miles).
It came off of the fjord called Nioghalvfjerdsfjorden, which is roughly 80 kilometers (50 miles) long and 20 kilometers (12 miles) wide, the National Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland said Monday.RELATED: Climate change: World is getting close to exceeding temperature limit, UN report saysThe glacier is at the end of the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream, where it flows off the land and into the ocean.Annual end-of-melt-season changes for the Arctic’s largest ice shelf in.
