I often prefer just to be told weights and dimensions. I never been to new york city, don't care about sports playing fields or try to fill any olympic swimming pools. I know what a ton and a kilometer is though.

The cool thing is that the sea level did not get a significant bump since Larsen C was already on the water to begin with.

The very fact that that is something we need to take into consideration is the scariest thing.

As I understand it, the issue is not that the melting ice shelf itself raises sea level, but that the ice shelf acts as a dam, holding back the glaciers that rest on the land. If those slide into the sea, that will raise the sea level.

I don't know, how tall is the ice wall that borders the flat earth in Antarctica? I'd say, as tall or taller than the ice wall that keeps out teh white walkers. ;p

That was actually less impressive than I expected. I think an ice slab 38.25 miles long and wide and as thick as the Empire State building is tall would have been more effective.

I've seen bigger.

I see a perfect opportunity for merchandising.
