Currently, the gigantic iceberg A23a is moving toward the South Atlantic Ocean and will strike South Georgia Island in two to four weeks.

While warming temperatures are driving a widespread loss of ice shelves, major calving events have not increased in frequency or size.

Iceberg A23a, one of the world's largest icebergs, is drifting toward South Georgia, posing potential risks to wildlife and sailors.

A23a, the world’s largest iceberg, broke loose from Antarctica; now it’s spiraling towards South Georgia Island.

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,

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.

The world's biggest iceberg -- more than twice the size of London -- could drift towards a remote island where a scientist warns it risks disrupting feeding for baby penguins

World's Largest Iceberg On Collision Course With South Georgia's Penguins. The world’s largest iceberg is on a collision course with penguins in the British Overseas Territory of South Georgia. Images of the A23a iceberg taken from an RAF Atlas A400M aircraft as it flew a routine operation over the South Atlantic show the iceberg looming towards the geologically important island.

Incredible new satellite images show the world's largest iceberg on a potential collision course with South Georgia Island. On Jan. 22, NOAA’s GOES East satellite captured imagery of A23a slowly drifting northeastward in the Southern Ocean.

The world's biggest iceberg is drifting toward a tiny south Atlantic island, potentially affecting the wildlife there, including seals and penguins.

Polar orbiting satellites have tracked the world’s largest iceberg since it broke free in Antarctica’s Weddell Sea in early November 2023.
