A large part of the Wilkins Ice Shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula is now supported only by a thin strip of ice hanging between two islands. It is another identifiable impact of climate change on the Antarctic environment. <p><a href="http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~a/sciencedaily?a=Whi0Vx"><img src="http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~a/sciencedaily?i=Whi0Vx" border="0"></img></a></p> <p><a href="http://science-nature.marc8.com/antarctic-ice-shelf-hangs-thread-new-dramatic-images-sho">read more</a></p> http://science-nature.marc8.com/antarctic-ice-shelf-hangs-thread-new-dramatic-images-sho#comments Top stories antarctic environment antarctic peninsula british antarctic survey dramatic images wilkins ice shelf http://science-nature.marc8.com/crss/node/2402 Tue, 25 Mar 2008 17:00:00 -0500 admin 2402 at http://science-nature.marc8.com http://science-nature.marc8.com/krill-discovered-living-antarctic-abyss <p>Scientists have discovered Antarctic krill living and feeding down to depths of 3000 meters in the waters around the Antarctic Peninsula. Until now this shrimp-like crustacean was thought to live only in the upper ocean. The discovery completely changes scientists' understanding of the major food source for fish, squid, penguins, seals and whales. <p><a href="http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~a/sciencedaily?a=VZtvRC"><img src="http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~a/sciencedaily?i=VZtvRC" border="0"></img></a></p> <p><a href="http://science-nature.marc8.com/krill-discovered-living-antarctic-abyss">read more</a></p> http://science-nature.marc8.com/krill-discovered-living-antarctic-abyss#comments Top stories abyss antarctic peninsula food source upper ocean whales http://science-nature.marc8.com/crss/node/853 Tue, 26 Feb 2008 10:00:00 -0600 admin 853 at http://science-nature.marc8.com
