Mega-iceberg from Antarctica on collision course with South Georgia: Harbinger of things to come?

It is no strange sight to see icebergs break off of the Antarctic ice cap and drift away, like the gigantic sheet of ice that is currently heading for the island of South Georgia. But climate change is making it happen more frequently, with ever-larger icebergs in the waters around Antarctica. Researchers are studying the routes that icebergs followed during geological periods of rapid ice cap deterioration, such as the ends of ice ages. That pr…

The World's Largest Iceberg "A23a" Continues Its Path North Towards South Georgia Island

The world’s largest iceberg, A23a, is headed towards South Georgia Island in the South Atlantic Ocean. It’s larger than Rhode Island, at 1,500 square miles, and weighs more than a trillion tons. Plus it’s 1,300 feet thick, taller than the Empire State Building at its top floor (counting the spire and antenna, the Empire State Building sits at 1,454 feet). A23a broke free from the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf in 1986, but it remained grounded on the …

Massive iceberg from Antarctica drifting toward South Georgia – what could happen next?

A gigantic iceberg is currently moving toward the island of South Georgia, a remote wildlife haven in the South Atlantic. While it is common for icebergs to break away from Antarctica and drift into the ocean, scientists say climate change is making this process happen more frequently, with bigger icebergs appearing in Antarctic waters. Icebergs […] The post Massive iceberg from Antarctica drifting toward South Georgia – what could happen next? …
