New evidence has emerged that a large plate of floating ice shelf attached to Antarctica is breaking up,
in a troubling sign of global warming, the European Space Agency (ESA) said on Thursday.

Images taken by its Envisat remote-sensing satellite show that Wilkins Ice Shelf is "hanging by its last thread"
to Charcot Island, one of the plate's key anchors to the Antarctic peninsula, ESA said in a press release.

"Since the connection to the island... helps stabilize the ice shelf, it is likely the breakup of the bridge
will put the remainder of the ice shelf at risk," it said.
