Description
In September 2017, the front of the Pine Island glacier in the Antarctic Peninsula cracked, creating one of the biggest icebergs ever recorded. Less than a year later, June 2018 saw Europe experience an unprecedented heat wave, which set record temperatures even in the north of Siberia. The sea ice in the Arctic region has shrunk dramatically in recent years. These facts are just some of the latest and most shocking consequences as the silent menace of global warming threatens the entire planet.In September 2017, the front of the Pine Island glacier in the Antarctic Peninsula cracked, creating one of the biggest icebergs ever recorded.
