"is" vs. "was"[edit]

I may be mistaken, but is the Ayles Ice Shelf no longer considered a shelf if it has broken free from land? If that is the case, should the opening statement not read "The Ayles Ice Shelf was one of six major shelves..."? Robotman1974 23:08, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Where? Geologic coordinates?"[edit]

83° 1'30.58"N  77°33'33.22"W

Appears to be close. At this spot Google Earth resolution is poor. However a tour around the Ellesmere Island and it's satellite islands makes it clear that this is no strange event, seems there are lots of float ice to be seen everywhere in the region.

90%?[edit]

The last sentence under "Breakup" desperately needs a credible citation as it does not sound believable. 148.78.245.12 20:44, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Map ?[edit]

Does anyone have a good map that shows where Ayles is/was on Ellesmere Island ? I think this would be useful. --PFHLai 22:24, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

named after Adam Ayles ?[edit]

I suspect that the Ayles Ice Shelf was named after Arctic explorer Adam Ayles, who served under George Nares as the Petty Officer of HMS Alert in the British Arctic Expedition. Can anyone confirm this and add this to the article, please ? Thanks. --PFHLai 00:32, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The link to Mount Ayles seems to confirm this. Carcharoth 15:30, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This link confirms it. I'll add to both articles. Carcharoth 15:32, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article was selected for DYK![edit]

A fact from Ayles Ice Shelf appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 2 January 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the Ayles Ice Shelf at Ellesmere Island in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago collapsed in less than an hour in August 2005, setting a 66 km² (25 mi²) ice island adrift in the Arctic Ocean, but the collapse was only discovered during the recent analysis of satellite images captured by MODIS?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/January.

A LOT of people contributed to this one, to make it better. GREAT collaboration everyone. I am going to try to credit everyone I think did significant work, but if I skipped you, it was inadvertantly... please accept my sincere apologies. (and drop Lar a note, I'll sort it) ++Larbot - run by User:Lar - t/c 14:38, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
