Satellite data confirms ‘calving’ of 5,800 sq km iceberg from Larsen C ice shelf, which has changed the shape of the Antarctic peninsula
Is Luxembourg bigger than Wales, then?

Going back to my GCSE Geography, Doesn't Antartica have land underneath it, where the North Pole doesn't?
(This was a while ago, so I am probably wrong). One of them does I am sure.

Yes Antarctica is on a land mass. Lots of coal there apparently.

I've done some googling. The iceberg is a little bit bigger than Norfolk. (Wales is nearly 4 times bigger.)

Why have you missed out ?
Thanks to those glaciers you have all those wonderful valleys and hills !
Is,'Hill's' the correct word ?
In Scotland it's munroes of those over a certain height, in England it's fells.

As an Englishman long living in Wales I'm not sure about that - just mountains and valleys I suppose, but I guess there must be a collective noun for them in Welsh
