这种不寻常的潮汐使得格陵兰的冰川崩裂成冰山。

The unusual tides caused glaciers to calve icebergs off Greenland .

格陵兰岛冰川本次的冰山脱离确实是全球气候暖化的，这会对有呢？

But if this big break in the Greenland glacier IS caused by global warming , how would that affect us ?

每年成千上万的冰山由格陵兰的冰川及持续稳步变暖的气候形成。

Every year , tens of thousands of icebergs are spooned by Greenland 's glaciers and the number is steady increasing as the climate continues the warm .

来自德克萨斯州立大学的唐纳德奥尔森表示，泰坦尼克号撞上的那种格陵兰岛冰川，一般都是搁浅在拉布拉多和纽芬兰旁的浅水中，它们直到融化到能漂浮，或被大潮冲走才能重新开始移动。

Greenland icebergs of the type that the Titanic struck generally become stuck in the shallow waters off Labrador and Newfoundland , and cannot resume moving southward until they have melted enough to re-float or a high tide frees them , Donald Olson from Texas State University said .

格陵兰的彼得曼冰川，摄于2009年。8月5日，卫星图像显示大约43英里长的浮动冰架约有4分之一已经脱落。

Greenland 's Petermann Glacier , shown in2009 , lost about one-quarter of its43-mile-long floating ice-shelf on Aug.5 , satellite imagery shows .

冰盖全部集中在南极和格陵兰，山岳冰川的84%集中于亚洲高地和北美寒区。

All ice sheets concentrate in the Antarctica and Greenland , and the maximal part of mountain glaciers ( 84 % ) concentrates in Asian highlands and the frigid one in North America .
