A new study shows that there are deadly ancient microbes and pathogens trapped within the ice that is now melting due to global warming.
The climate phenomenon known as "El Niño" has caused oceans to reach the highest temperatures in recorded history.
Despite the fact that climate change is indeed a very real and growing problem and does impact Antarctica, it has nothing to do with this iceberg.
Melting of the Antarctic ice cap is contributing to globally rising ocean levels. However, scientists have noticed that the rate of ice loss in one glacial section has slowed.
