Dramatic video shows enormous glacier collapse during same week as Antarctica's hottest recorded temperature

The William Glacier in Antarctica partially collapsed in the same week as Antarctica's hottest recorded day at 65ºF. It lasted for several minutes and stretched half a mile. "The whole face of the glacier, as you're looking at it right now, is a completely different vista to what it was two days ago," said Simon Wallace, chief officer of the James Clark Ross.
