The world's largest iceberg, known as A23a, is on a collision course with South Georgia Island, a delicate ecosystem that is ...
A23a, a massive iceberg nearly the size of Rhode Island, towering at 40 meters, is on a collision course with South Georgia.
The slab of ice — named A23a — weighs almost one trillion tonnes and could slam into South Georgia Island before either ...
The trillion-ton slab of ice, called a megaberg, could slam into South Georgia Island and get stuck or be guided around it by currents.
If it gets stuck near South Georgia Island, that could make it hard for penguin parents to feed their babies and some young ...
For every bit of the iceberg above the water’s surface, there’s ten times more below, Meijers said. The iceberg is making its way at a glacial pace of one meter every three to seven seconds ...
The world's biggest iceberg, known A23a, is on a collision course with a tiny island in the South Atlantic, which is home to millions of seals and nearly half the world's population of king penguins.
“For months, the iceberg was trapped in a Taylor Column, an oceanographic phenomenon where rotating water above a seamount traps objects in place,” BAS said. “This dynamic kept A23a spinning ...
For every bit of the iceberg above the water’s surface, there’s ten times more below, Meijers said. It’s not exactly high-speed action. The iceberg is making its way at a glacial pace of one ...
For every bit of the iceberg above the water's surface, there's ten times more below, Meijers said. It's not exactly high-speed action. The iceberg is making its way at a glacial pace much slower ...
