Meanwhile, Mark Belchier, director of fisheries and environment for the government of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands ... of the fossil fuel-driven climate crisis.

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 ...

This is not the first time an iceberg has posed a threat to South Georgia. In 2004, iceberg A38 "grounded on its continental shelf, leaving dead penguin chicks and seal pups on beaches as massive ice chunks blocked their access to feeding grounds,

A23a, arguably the world’s largest and oldest iceberg which has been wandering through the South Atlantic and headed for the British Overseas Territory of the South Georgia Islands since last month, has been reported not to have changed course this week nor upped nor melted,

Measuring roughly 1,350 square miles (3,500 square kilometers) across, A23a is the world's largest and oldest iceberg according to AFP News. Its imposing size and slow, steady movement have captivated oceanographers and researchers alike, though predicting its exact path has proven difficult due to the unpredictable forces of ocean currents.

The biggest iceberg on Earth is heading toward a remote island, creating a potential threat to penguins and seals inhabiting the area.

The world's largest iceberg, A23a, is dangerously approaching the South Atlantic archipelago, posing a threat to the unique ecosystem, reports Science Alert. The massive block covers an area of about 3,
