10 Things Smaller Than The Wilkins Ice Shelf Print E-mail
Written by Dave, Rob, Samantha and Charlie   
Friday, 28 March 2008

Yesterday we told you about the rather large chunk of ice that broke off of the Wilkins Ice Shelf in Western Antarctica this month. The new ice cube now floating (and melting) in the South Pacific measures in at a healthy 160 square miles, or nearly three times the size of Liechtenstein.

But it turns out this collapse might be just the, uh, tip of the iceberg. Scientists say the entire Wilkins Ice Shelf is in danger of breaking off at any moment. Such an event would be quite a big deal, as the shelf has an area of 5,282 square miles. That number doesn't mean much to us by itself, so we went searching for some context.

Here, in no particular order, are 10 things smaller than the Wilkins Ice Shelf:

  1. Delaware (2,489 square miles)
  2. Everglades National Park (2,357 square miles)
  3. Jamaica (4,243 square miles): They could probably use some of that ice.
  4. Yellowstone National Park (3,468 square miles)
  5. Rhode Island (1,545 square miles): Though to be fair, there are people in Alaska with backyards larger than the Ocean State.
  6. Ghawar Oil Field (3,243 square miles): Yes, there is an oil field in Saudi Arabia that's larger than Delaware.
  7. Puerto Rico (3,515 square miles)
  8. The Falkland Islands (4,700 square miles)
  9. 81 Districts of Columbia (68.3 square miles)
  10. Los Angeles County (4,752 square miles): Which, with its population of 10 million people, answers the question, "How many people could live on the Wilkins Ice Shelf?"

So, I'm the jerk.

Great list, folks, but there's one thing I have to mention. Number 9 should read: "81 Districts of Columbia"

Cheers!

penis büyütücü
written by Penis büyütücü, August 20, 2009

It was hot and steamy as we arrived at the airport in Brisbane
penis büyütücü Penis Büyütücü for the long
journey home to Boston. This was the end of a month-long camper van vacation in
Australia, and I, for one, was overjoyed to be heading back to some normalcy.

For an entire month my wife Anne (I call her “the queen”) had avoided sex in the
camper van, or anywhere else for that matter,rap muzik since “the children are nearby.” -

The irony of her way of thinking will be evident shortly. Actually, she is not
very interested in sex anytime, since she was taught by her mother that sex was

“dirty.” The only time she ever saw galatasaray portalher parents making love, they were fully

how we ever ended up with three children; one is grown and on her own, the two

boys (Ralph, 17 and Trevor, 14) were with us on holiday. Because I travel

I took the single seat, and let Ralph and Trevor sit together for the first ten-hour

talk to me, but she was too old (29) to be interested in him. She introduced
herself as Christine, “You can call me Chrissy.” She was about five foot eight,

divorce; she and her husband had been working together on private yachts for
eight years, and he had developed a cocaine habit. When he would not seek help

divorce, stayed in Brisbane, and had mp3 indir just been notified the divorce was final.
In the meantime, she had met another guy she wanted to stay with, and was going
to Miami to settle up the emo forum property and return to her new lover. This I
discovered during dinner conversation and over a few shared glasses of wine. oyun yamaları
Looking into my eyes, sohbet she confided she was “now free and ready for some
excitement. The movie started, the dizi izle flight attendants went around the cabin to lower all the shades, and Chrissy said, “I’d rather talk, if it’s OK with you; this movie is terrible.” I had also seen the movie and agreed. oyun We spent the next two hours getting to know each other better. Chrissy at one point said, “You have terrific eyes, I get really turned on by eyes.” We talked about the kids, and when she asked if I was married and learned about Anne in the front cabin, she thought it displayed selfish behavior and then never mentioned my marital status again.

Hi, We're EnviroWonk

Yeah, OK, we can be the change that we want to see in the world. But unless powerful people in powerful positions want to be that change as well, nothing's going to change.

So now, finally, there's a place where you can go for news and analysis of politics from an environmental perspective.
