Ice island was "swimming" in the Arctic Ocean was about to enter a remote place called nares Strait, about 620 km south of the Arctic, which separates Greenland and Island Ellsemere, Canada. In the worst scenario, a giant chunk of ice could have traveled to reach the waters where the vessel similar to the Greenland ice shelf in 1912 destroyed the Titanic (Read : Kutub Utara Mencair).
"The island's ice is so great that it is impossible to stop it," said Hon-Methie Ove Hagen, glasiologis from the University of Oslo.
Ice island was very dangerous for the Grand Banks oil platforms off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. "From where could be the starting point major disaster," said Mark Drinkwater of the European Space Agency.
If the island of ice as thick as the Empire State Building in New York is entering the Strait of nares before the winter freeze (next month), vessel traffic in the vicinity of Canada will be disturbed. And, if the giant chunks of ice flowing into the south due flows driven, and reached the east coast of Canada, the busy waters, sending oil from Newfoundland will be disrupted.
Ice islands were first seen via satellite by a fortune-teller ice from Canada, Tudy Wohllenben, Thursday (08/05/2010). Discharge of fresh water when the ice melts could supply the water needs for all people in the United States for 120 days or four months ( Read : BlackBerry 9800 Torch Specifications )
Thrust of the ice island was very strong, can sweep offshore oil platforms and ships are there in front of him. The resulting collision can cause severe damage. If the ice melts, the potential to raise global sea levels as high as 20 feet or 6 meters!
Canadian Ice Service estimates, the rate of ice chunks that takes one or two years to reach the east coast of Canada. Possibilities will also be broken into small pieces due to hit an iceberg, and coral islands. Chunks of it will also collapse or melt due to wind and waves. "But chunks of the fractions were quite large," said Trudy Wohllenben (Rahida Saim).
