    A trillion tonne iceberg, measuring 5800 square km, has broken off from the Larsen C Ice Shelf in Antarctica , creating a perilous shipping zone for the ships around the region . It is estimated to be around four times the size of London.

    Let's just enjoy what's left of summer - it's only the end of July! Next thing it'll be time to think about buying Christmas presents......not just yet.

    I don't buy christmas presents. That's Santa's job.

    And no worries, we can be aware that winter is coming while enjoying summer just fine! :cheers2:

    The Winds of Winter began a while ago - it is so sad however that our capacity to deal with the issue will undoubtedly see a failure to 'hold the door' before we are overcome by Ice ... or Fire
