When things get too BIG they always break off and fail.

(Sept. 11) -- The largest Arctic iceberg in nearly half a century has split into two pieces after crashing into a rocky island west of Greenland.

The iceberg – actually a massive floating ice island four times the size of Manhattan – broke off Greenland's Petermann Glacier last month. It was the largest such iceberg since 1962, with a surface area of 100 square miles and a thickness of about half the height of the Empire State Building.

Did anyone note that it didn't say "melted off" Greenland's Petermann Glacier last month?
