A big chunk of Greenland's ice cap, estimated to be some 110 square kilometres, has broken off in the far northeast Arctic which scientists say is evidence of rapid climate change.
The glacier is at the end of the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream, where it flows off land and into the ocean. It shows that the area losses for the past two years each exceeded 50 square kilometres. The ice shelf has lost 160sq km, an area nearly twice that of Manhattan Island, New York, since 1999.
