The title is from the source, not mine. This is the same ice island that calved from Greenland's Petermann Glacier and made news headlines last

affect its movement and will probably move faster than it was previously.
I don't recall any speculation of it breaking into pieces although I didn't follow the development very closely. Although it's inevitable that
climate change will enter the discussion I bring this forward simply for what it is; an ice island that split in two.
