M'Clintock Ice Shelf
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
82°55′N 77°30′W / 82.917°N 77.500°W The M'Clintock Ice Shelf was a Canadian ice shelf attached to northern Ellesmere Island. By 1961/62, its connection was tenuous.[1] Most of the shelf broke away during the period of 1963 through 1965 with the remainder (10 km2 lodged at Borup Point) breaking off in 1966.[2] Subsequently, multi year landfast sea ice, containing ice shelf fragments, has covered the M’Clintock Inlet mouth.[3]
