World's largest #iceberg breaks free, heads toward #SouthernOcean
Recent satellite images reveal that the berg, weighing nearly a trillion metric tonnes, is now drifting quickly past the northern tip of the #Antarctic Peninsula, aided by strong winds and currents. At almost 4,000 square km (1,500 square miles), the Antarctic iceberg called #A23a is roughly three times the size of New York City. https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/worlds-largest-iceberg-breaks-free-heads-toward-southern-ocean-2023-11-24/
