Patrick Lockerby has been discussing the break-off of part of the Petermann shelf for a while and others have noticed.  A Daily Kos blogger has links to it and the BBC notes Patrick's article.

Neven also linked to Patrick's article on Climate Progress in the comments.

In the old days we were syndicated by Big Media but now it seems we are also good source material.
