That was a headline for a video on lemonde.fr. Basically saying that a piece of glacier broke off in Antarctica. I can’t seem to find this information anywhere else, so I decided to translate.
Un énorme morceau de glace d’environ 415 km² a commencé à se détacher du plateau de Wilkins, en Antarctique, indiquent des chercheurs d’un laboratoire de l’université du Colorado, mercredi 26 mars. Des images satellitaires du Centre national de la neige et de la glace américain montrent que le bloc de glace est grand quatre fois comme Paris.

A huge piece of ice, around 415 kilometers, began to detach itself from the ice sheet in Wilkins, Antarctica, according to researchers in a University of Colorado laboratory, Wednesday March 26th. These satellite images of the national center of snow(?) and American ice shows that the block of ice is four times the size of Paris.
The British Antarctic Survey’s original press release can be found here.
Considering this is the biggest ice shelf to be threatened, I think we should all take a look at our thoughts on the climate crisis.
