A23a: World's largest iceberg on collision course with remote British island threatening penguins and seals
The world’s largest iceberg is on a collision course with a remote British island, potentially putting penguins and seals at risk. The iceberg, A23a, broke free from its position north of the South Orkney Islands last month and is now heading towards South Georgia, where it could crash into the island.
The trillion-ton slab of ice — called a megaberg — could slam into South Georgia Island, making it hard for penguin parents to feed their babies and some young could even starve.
The world’s largest iceberg is still on the move and there are fears that it could be headed north from Antarctica towards the island of South Georgia.
