When the water come rushing, rushing in...

Immense ice shelf breaks off in Canadian Arctic

The 66-square-kilometer (25.5-square-mile) ice island tore away from Ellesmere, a huge strip of land in the Canadian Arctic close to Greenland. & etc.

Because I'm retarded and I don't know otherwise - is this bigger or larger than the Larsen-B ice shelf breakage from a few years ago?

It's quite a bit smaller, as the portion of the Larsen-B shelf that broke away was about 1,250 square miles.
