Measuring roughly 1,350 square miles (3,500 square kilometers) across, A23a is the world's largest and oldest iceberg according to AFP News. Its imposing size and slow, steady movement have captivated oceanographers and researchers alike, though predicting its exact path has proven difficult due to the unpredictable forces of ocean currents.

The biggest iceberg on Earth is heading toward a remote island, creating a potential threat to penguins and seals inhabiting the area.

A23a, the world’s largest iceberg, broke loose from Antarctica; now it’s spiraling towards South Georgia Island.
