Monster iceberg s 42-month journey towards wildlife island

Slideshow ( 5 images ) The huge ice mass, which broke from the Antarctic’s Larsen C ice shelf in July 2017, slid toward the open ocean for over two years until it hit the powerful Circumpolar Current that circles the continent. That propelled the berg northeast through what scientists call “iceberg alley”, and it’s now headed straight for South Georgia Island, and could hit the remote world in the southern Atlantic teeming with wildlife within days. At 4,200 square kilometers (1,620 sq miles), the berg is bigger than Singapore or Luxembourg. “There’s nothing that’s really been that large before in scientific history that we’ve seen coming up to South Georgia,” said Geraint Tarling, a biological oceanographer with the British Antarctic Survey.

World s biggest iceberg on collision course with penguin island

An enormous iceberg is heading towards South Georgia Island in the southern Atlantic, where scientists say a collision could devastate wildlife by threatening the food chain. Scientists have long been watching this climate-related event unfold, as the iceberg - the size and shape of Jamaica – has meandered and advanced over two years since breaking off from the Antarctic peninsula in July 2017. BRITISH ROYAL AIR FORCE Iceberg A68a is 4,200 sq km in size and is about the same shape and size as Jamaica. The peninsula is one of the fastest-warming places on Earth, registering a record high temperature of 20.75 degrees Celsius on February 9. The warming has scientists concerned about ice melt and collapse leading to higher sea levels worldwide.
