Canada's last remaining intact ice shelf collapsed in just a few months, causing the glacial lake it held to drain completely. Scientists say climate change accelerated the catastrophic breakup.
Canada's last remaining intact ice shelf collapsed over just a few months, causing the glacial lake it held to drain completely. The speed of the breakup and the totality of the collapse surprised scientists monitoring the system. They attribute the acceleration to climate change.
An intact ice shelf is a stable system—it's been there for centuries and holds freshwater lakes in place. When it fails suddenly, you lose that landscape. The lake drained because there was nothing holding it anymore. This isn't a distant environmental change—it's a visible, physical transformation of Canadian territory happening in real time.
