David Vaughan felt his calf was a little bit tight so we decided at half-time there was no point risking him any longer. Hopefully David will be all right and it's nothing serious.
Rob's been talking to Blackpool and he didn't play last night because I didn't think it was worth the risk ... I think it will go through. I'd love to see him play first-team football because that's what he needs.
Climate warming in the Antarctic Peninsula has pushed the limit of viability for ice shelves further south – setting some of them that used to be stable on a course of retreat and eventual loss. The Wilkins breakout won't have any effect on sea-level because it is floating already, but it is another indication of the impact that climate change is having on the region.
I've never seen anything like this before – it was awesome. We flew along the main crack and observed the sheer scale of movement from the breakage. Big hefty chunks of ice, the size of small houses, look as though they've been thrown around like rubble – it's like an explosion.
Wilkins is the largest ice shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula yet to be threatened. I didn't expect to see things happen this quickly. The ice shelf is hanging by a thread – we'll know in the next few days or weeks what its fate will be.
