What's BGLE?[edit]

I was taught that acronyms should always be spelled out the first time they are used. What is/was "BGLE" ? --Wtshymanski 04:41, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The breakout is the latest drama in a region of Antarctica that has experienced unprecedented warming over the last 50 years. Several ice shelves have retreated in the past 30 years - six of them collapsing completely (Prince Gustav Channel, Larsen Inlet, Larsen A, Larsen B, Wordie, Muller and the Jones Ice Shelf.)

So it certainly collapsed sooner than April 2009. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Confused monk (talkcontribs) 23:40, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
