wasn't it the ross ice shelf at the beginning of "the day after tomorrow" that breaks apart?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19900897 Yep, your right.... In The Day After Tomorrow, the disaster threat du jour is Global Warming (tm). Dennis Quaid plays Jack Hall, the Chicken Little scientist who says that the sky is falling and who, of course, nobody listens to. After watching the Ross Ice Shelf crack and start to fall into the sea, he attends a climatology conference in New Delhi (experiencing a snowstorm) to say that ice melt from the polar ice caps may be flooding the North Atlantic with fresh water, potentially stopping the flow of the Gulf Stream. Ironic though it may sound, Global Warming could cause a new Ice Age.

Larsen B was on the penninsula of Antarctica, nowhere near the Ross Sea/quake, as a matter of fact they are 2.2k miles away from each other.
