"Massive Iceberg Breaks Free: Astonishing Photos and Encounters with the World's Largest Drifting Iceberg"
TL;DR Summary
The British Antarctic Survey has released a video showcasing the massive iceberg known as A23a, which is 40 miles wide and weighs 1 trillion tons. After being grounded for decades, the iceberg has started moving again across the polar regions of Antarctica's open waters. It broke off from the Filchner Ice Shelf in 1986 and has been slowly picking up speed since 2020. The iceberg will likely be swept along by the current in the South Atlantic as it slowly melts away.
