The world’s largest iceberg, A23a, is heading north from Antarctica toward South Georgia, a British Overseas Territory in the southern Atlantic Ocean. In the past, giant icebergs grounding near South Georgia have caused devastating consequences,

A23a, a massive iceberg nearly the size of Rhode Island, towering at 40 meters, is on a collision course with South Georgia.

It’s also a natural process happening more frequently because of human-caused climate change, said British Antarctic Survey physical oceanographer Andrew Meijers, who examined the iceberg up close in December 2023 when it drifted past the research ship RRS Sir David Attenborough.

The slab of ice — named A23a — weighs almost one trillion tonnes and could slam into South Georgia Island before either getting stuck or being guided around the land by currents.

The world's largest iceberg is on a collision course with a remote British island, potentially putting penguins and seals in danger. The iceberg is spinning northwards from Antarctica towards South Georgia, a rugged British territory and wildlife haven, where it could ground and smash into pieces. It is currently 173 miles (280km) away.

The iceberg, A23a, broke free from its position north of the South Orkney Islands last month and is now heading towards South Georgia ... common because of climate change. As ocean temperatures ...

The world’s largest iceberg, A23a, is drifting northward from Antarctica, potentially threatening South Georgia, a British Overseas Territory in the South Atlantic. The massive iceberg, spanning 3,672 square kilometres (1,418 square miles), has raised fears of ecological disruption and risks to shipping routes.

For over 30 years, the A23a iceberg stayed anchored to the Antarctic Weddell Sea floor before it shrank and lost its grip on the seafloor which turned it into a massive floating fragment of ice. The iceberg has been floating for the past two years.
