This is how much the iceberg turned and moved between November 2 (blue) and November 26 (red).

The currently largest iceberg in the world is moving relatively quickly away from Antarctic waters. The European Space Agency announced this on the basis of satellite images.

The colossus named A23a broke off from the Filchner-Ronne ice shelf in 1986, but remained stuck on the seabed for a long time. Things had loosened up a bit in 2020, but are only now starting to gain strength, driven by wind and currents.

A23a is about 4,000 square kilometers, about one-tenth the size of Switzerland. Like most icebergs from the so-called Weddell sector, it is likely to end up in the South Atlantic Ocean, according to ESA. (SDA)
