A research mission is about to be launched to the world s biggest iceberg, which is heading dangerously close to one of the most delicate ecosystems on the planet.
Scientists from the British Antarctic Survey will next month travel to the frozen mass, the A68a, which is floating in the Southern Atlantic Ocean.
The iceberg is 3,900 square kilometres, larger than Luxembourg and more than twice the size of Sydney.
GUEST: Dr Povl Abrahamsen, Physical Oceanographer for the British Antarctic Survey and mission leader
