The world’s largest iceberg is heading towards a remote British island of South Georgia in the South Atlantic Ocean and could threaten millions of penguins and seals that live there. The huge iceberg A23a measures almost 1,

The slab of ice — named A23a — weighs almost one trillion tonnes and could slam into South Georgia Island before either getting stuck or being guided around the land by currents.

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 Orkney Islands last month and is now heading towards South Georgia, where it could crash into the island.

The world’s largest iceberg is still on the move and there are fears that it could be headed north from Antarctica toward the island of South Georgia. The iceberg, called A23a, was previously “trapped” spinning around an undersea mountain for several months,

The world's biggest iceberg -- more than twice the size of London -- could drift towards a remote island where a scientist warns it risks disrupting feeding for baby penguins and seals. Meijers said this scenario could seriously impede seals and penguins trying to feed and raise their young on the island.
