Scientists say Antarctica iceberg break not due to climate c

Scientists say climate change wasn't to blame for a giant iceberg breaking away in Antarctica but rather, high tide.

A 1,550 square kilometre iceberg broke off the Brunt Ice Shelf over the weekend, almost a decade after cracks formed in a section known as Chasm One.

Glaciologist Dominic Hodgson says the ice separation naturally occurs in this part of Antarctica.

Two years ago scientists recorded another iceberg separation from the Brunt Ice Shelf.
