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 biggest iceberg, named A23a, has come to a standstill as it appears to have run aground in shallow waters off the remote island of South Georgia after drifting around the Southern ...

The colossal iceberg A23a – which is more than twice the size of Greater London and weighs nearly one trillion tonnes – has been drifting north from Antarctica towards South Georgia island ...

Estimated to weigh roughly a trillion tons, A23a had broken away, or calved, from Antarctica's Filchner Ice Shelf in 1986 and then stayed atop the seabed in the Weddell Sea within the Southern ...

A23a weighs nearly a trillion metric tons, making it the world’s largest active iceberg. It calved from Antarctica in 1986, making it the world’s oldest berg.

A23a’s travels began in 2020, when it freed itself from the sea floor and began to move. By 2023, it was ready to leave Antarctic waters entirely. A wandering iceberg’s decades-long journey.

In 1986, iceberg A23a broke off of the Filchner ice sheet deep in the Weddell Sea. This super-iceberg remained stuck on the bottom of the shallow Weddell Sea for decades, until it began to drift ...
