In 2017, a giant piece of ice the size of a small country broke away from the Antarctic. Measuring 5,800 square kilometres, twice the size of Luxembourg, it was one of the largest icebergs ever recorded.
This vast mass of frozen water has been slowly drifting through the ocean since it made a break from the Larson C ice shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula three years ago. Tracked by satellites the berg, shaped like a hand with an outstretched index finger, began moving north in 2018.
That was until last year when the iceberg, labelled as A68, was quickly propelled into the Southern Atlantic by strong currents in the ocean.
