Hello DotK,
thank you for this very intersting article! As far as I know this is an rather "old" problem with these huge icebergs in the Ross Sea called B15A and C19. The scales of these "monsters" are those of several hundred kilometers long so they block parts of the continent. B15A evolved in 2000:

Since this time he seemed to cause many problems for some large penguin colonies in this area of the continent. I don't know the exact date of your "News" but I definetly read an almost similar headline one year ago! So is it from Dezember 2004 what you posted - could you please check it? Here an other link about the impact of these "monster-icebergs":

Our icebergs in front of the camera are just like very little toys in comparison with the monsters C19 and B15A - they won't have any impact on the nesting Gentoos there! The westside of the antarcitc peninsula is by far the most ice-free region of all of the Antarctic and has nothing to do with the huge Ross and Larsen Ice Shelf areas which are much closer to the continent itselve.
