Iceberg on a journey

It is more than four times the size of Berlin and is moving towards the Atlantic: the world's largest iceberg is drifting out of the Southern Ocean - at a remarkable speed.

Antarctica - Iceberg on a journey

The world's largest iceberg is currently moving away from Antarctic waters relatively quickly. This was announced by the European Space Agency Esa, citing satellite images. The colossus, known as A23a, broke away from the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf back in 1986, but was stuck on the seabed for a long time. Although it had broken free by 2020, it is only now being driven by winds and currents.

A23a is around 4,000 square kilometers in size, which is around 4.5 times the size of Berlin. Like most icebergs from the so-called Weddell sector, it will probably end up in the South Atlantic, according to Esa.

  1. The European Space Agency (ESA) in Paris continuously monitors the movement of the massive iceberg A23a in the Atlantic, using satellite images for tracking.
  2. The journey of the Antarctica-origin iceberg A23a, which is roughly the size of Berlin, is a significant environmental science topic, generating interest both in Berlin and other European cities.
  3. Experts predict that the iceberg A23a, currently drifting towards the South Atlantic, may pose threats to shipping lanes along the A23a route, as satellite images show its path approaching the a23a corridor.
  4. The ESA satellite images have captured the stark contrast between the melting Antarctica ice and the lush green landscape of Europe, highlighting the urgency for global environmental action.
  5. As the world's largest iceberg, A23a, moves towards the South Atlantic, ESA scientists in Berlin and Paris are researching its impact on ocean currents and sea levels across the world, using satellite images as evidence.
