In mid-July, residents of the Greenland village of Innaarsuit — population 180 — woke up to a startling sight. As ...

Residents of Innaarsuit, a tiny village in Greenland, were stunned to see that a huge iceberg is now lurking just off-shore.

Iceberg A23a is not new. It first broke off from the Filchner Ice Shelf in Antarctica back in 1986, measuring about 3,900 square kilometers —larger than many small countries.

Scientists who have used satellites to track the iceberg's decades-long meanderings north from Antarctica have codenamed the iceberg A23a. But up close, numbers and letters don't do it justice.

The world’s largest iceberg is on a collision course with a remote British island, potentially putting penguins and seals at risk. The iceberg, A23a, broke free from its position north of the South ...

The world's largest iceberg appears to have run aground off the coast of a remote British island home to millions of penguins and seals — potentially threatening local wildlife, but also providing an ...

However, A23a may not hold its size title for long, because as of May 16, it is only around 12 square miles (31 square km) larger than the next-biggest iceberg, D15A, according to the U.S ...

Behemoth A23a could cut off such access. In 2020, another giant iceberg, A68, stirred fears that it would collide with South Georgia, crushing marine life on the sea floor and cutting off food access.

A23a started to drift up through the Southern Ocean in 2020, when currents put it on a possible collision course with South Georgia. The iceberg and the island are about the same size in square miles.

But the world's largest iceberg, known as A23a, is starting to crumble. Satellite images reveal that an enormous chunk has broken off the megaberg, which has been steadily travelling north in the ...

The "megaberg", officially designated Iceberg A23A, came to rest near South Georgia, grinding onto the edge of the British overseas territory's continental shelf between March 2 and 3. Scientists ...

A23a’s vast cliffs tower higher than London’s Shard at 1,312ft and cover 3,500 sq km, roughly the size of Cornwall, though the warmer northern waters are melting the iceberg and could break it up.
