Climate Larsen C: Giant iceberg breaks off Antarctic peninsula 21 July 2017 On 12th July, satellite data confirmed the ‘calving’ of a trillion-tonne, 5,800 sq km iceberg from the Larsen C ice shelf on the Antarctic peninsula. Weather Ice lollies' found in UK clouds 28 June 2017 Clouds aren’t typically associated with ice lollies, but rather sunshine – until now.
