giant blocks of ice have always broken off antarctica as ice shelves but in places like pine island the losses are speeding up scientists are worried there are 4 warning of even larger events as climate change drives higher rates of thaw on the frozen continent. a new study says if temperatures continue to go up in antarctica global sea levels could rise by up to one and a half meters by the year 2100 at chile's escudero base on king george island the ice and snow pack has melted almost entirely this year. it's the 1st time we see a lack of snow that is so impressive it really caught our attention we left some sensors installed we've seen temperatures over 13 degrees just so you know in the last 40 years ice loss in the antarctic has increased 6 fold and as it continues to melt the warm temperatures are also having an impact on wildlife like chinstrap penguins populations of them have plunged dramatically we did find one colony on elephant island that had a very large cawley that declined about 77 percent. tremendous loss over a very short period of time and with january of 2020 setting

. >> reporter: this shows the massive iceberg breaking away from antarctica's pine island glacier and quickly shattering into pieces. it happened last week at temperatures in areas of the south pole spiked to a record 65 degrees fahrenheit. >> it's among the fastest warming regions of the planet. we hear a lot about the arctic, but this particular part is warming very quickly. >> reporter: scientists also captured this moment when a glacier collapsed in the same region. it's estimated it weighs thousands of tons and is more than 130 feet high. >> these icebergs are not just e size of whole blocks of houses. >> reporter: experts say climate change is causing glaciers to lose their ability to replenish and stay in place. and chilean researchers at a base in antarctica released this video, showing part of the continent without snow due to rising temperatures. they believe climate change has caused so much melting at the south pole that the giant ice sheet is on course to crumble. >> the ice holds 90 percent of the world's fresh water, and climate scientists say if it were all to melt, se

continent has reached over 20 degrees celsius the news coincided with a big break in the ice on pine island where an iceberg 300 square kilometers an area broke off from a glacier last weekend scientists fear that global warming could eventually cause the entire ice sheet covering antarctica to disintegrate which would cause global sea levels to rise dramatically. let's talk more about this story we have derek williams from d.w. science with us hi derek you know record we've seen record temperatures really across the planet so does this really come as a surprise that we're seeing this on antarctica no it doesn't and because we have so many different numbers to get through then i want to give you a feeling for how dramatic it is this latest record is nearly a full degree celsius more than the previous record which was set back in 25th and that's that's a lot for just for this part of the world it's not surprising at all because 21000 was the 2nd hottest year on on record and things very likely are going to change this past month january was the hottest january that we've ever seen on record

this is the pine island glacier, known as pig, giving birth to a piglet.s in size which scientists say, eventually broke up and shattered into pieces. another example of how rising temperatures are having a devastating effect on the antarctic. this is maxwell bay, where a chilean research team is based but something is missing, snow. there hasn't been any this year and that is becoming increasingly normal. translation: these maximum temperatures used to occur once every thousand years, then every hundred years. and now we're seeing them, i think, in the order of decades. i think that's a consequence of climate change. this latest temperature, nearly a degree higher than the previous record, could be an outlier. but that seems unlikely. scientists say there is a noticeable trend, the antarctic ice sheet is melting. if it disappears completely, as many fear it will, global sea could rise by more than three metres. that would transform the face of the planet. tim allman, bbc news. it's take you back to developments in the coronavirus story and talking again w

satellite images show the iceberg breaking away from the pine island glacier in recent days. it comes as temperatures on the antarctica peninsula spike to 65 degrees fahrenheit. scientists also captured this moment when a glacier recently collapsed in the very same region. take a look at that. >> trevor: wow. giant chunks of antarctica are breaking off? you know who i blame for this? harry and meghan. now everyone's trying to be independent. ( laughter ) "i want to be my own iceberg! i'm out!" ( laughter ) and, guys, honestly, i don't know how we're going to stop antarctica from melting. like, we either fight to lower global temperatures, or we send icebergs to black churches so they can learn how to cool themselves off. "oooh, baby, you melting because of the devil." ( laughter ) and did you hear them say that this iceberg is three times the size of paris. i don't actually know how big that is. ( laughter ) and i don't know why the news does that. why are they giving me measurements that require me to travel to europe? so what, now, i have to wander around paris three times

that's pine island glacier near the antarctic peninsula. we're worried about that. the glaciers in west antarctica two big ones. if pine island melts and collapse, maybe a few decades from now not tomorrow, maybe a couple hundred years. just that glacier alone can contribute four feet of sea level rise and it won't happen over hundreds of years it would happen within a decade or two. >> got to start making changes. thank you. >>> if you're heading out the door don't forget to set your dvr to record "cbs this morning: saturday". >>> get in the spirit. we'll toast three women behind one brand. >>> trading stadium lights for lights of broadway. we'll talk to nnamdi asomugha about another milestone in his acting career. we'll meet members of the bonnie light horseman. >> some of those she helped has never forgotten her. a valentine's day reunion next. you're watching "cbs this morning: saturday". i have the power to lower my blood sugar and a1c. because i can still make my own insulin. and trulicity activates my body to release it like it's supposed to. trulicity is for

the pine island delay are sure, th glacier has had some implications due to the heat wave and it is capturedsive iceberg which by the way is roughly the size of the city of atlanta. it broke off just a couple of days ago and now floating openly across the open ocean. and this is just one of the tell tail signs, fingerprints of climate change especially when we're coming off the warmest january globally on record. and so now the new january record of 2.50 degrees, a disturbing trend to say the least. this is the 44th consecutive january with temperatures above the 20th century average. so this is having implications on all types of locations across the world including europe, asia and australia, second warmest january is on record for those specific continents. but when you talk globally, it was a record and the arctic sea ice and antarctic sea ice are being reduced as well. five top warmest years on record all within the past five years. so again more and more and more signs. tough to be a tiskeptic these occasions. >> and yet the u.s. president is a denier. >>> all right. another hour ahead

lapse of the satellite images of a glacier melting over the past 12 months and as the edge of the pine island glacier in western antarctica came apart there was a huge piece of a ice sheet that covered about 115 square miles, that is about twice the size of new york staten island that broke off and they're saying this could produce a sea level rise of about 10 feet over the next several years. so it is avenue really amazing video to see. and it is one of the signs that we've been talking about, that climate change and some warming is underway. now as we get ready to head out of the door, we are seeing a clear start to the day in dublin. our temperatures are in the mid-40s here leading into some mid-50s. it will be a very nice day but well above normal. and we continue on with some dry conditions. as we head over to mike, it is an easy friday morning right now. >> that is right. and i hope you didn't jinx it because i didn't say anything. looking over here, we expect this early on a friday 5:08 almost 5:09 no delays on the south county and even out of altamont. a crash closer to 780, only a qu
