The world’s largest iceberg, A23a, has shifted direction and is now drifting west, about 300 kilometers from the British island of South Georgia. Scientists warn it could collide with the island, posing a threat to penguin and seal populations, as it may block their access to food.
The iceberg, which weighs one trillion tons and is three times the size of New York City, broke off from the Filchner Ice Shelf in Antarctica in 1986.
After becoming stuck near the shore, its melting slowed, but it started drifting again in late 2023, and is now near the South Orkney Islands. The situation has raised concerns among sailors, who are closely monitoring the ice.
