"Massive A23a Iceberg Approaches Open Waters, Scientists Reveal Unprecedented Size"

The world's largest iceberg, A23a, weighs nearly 1 trillion tons and has an area three times the size of New York City, according to data from the European Space Agency. A23a broke off from Antarctica in 1986 and recently became dislodged, drifting towards the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula. Its movement will impact ocean currents and the ocean floor. Icebergs like A23a play a crucial role in mixing seawater, bringing nutrients to the surface and fertilizing the ocean.
