Where in the world is iceberg A23a? 🔎 Sea-ice concentration data shows the movement of the berg, currently the largest in the world, near the Antarctic Peninsula between November 1, 2023 and January 23, 2024. According to the European Space Agency, "A23a is likely to be expelled into the Antarctic Circumpolar Current – propelling it towards the South Atlantic along a trajectory commonly referred to as ‘iceberg alley.’" #Iceberg #A23a #IcebergA23a #Antarctica | Environmental Defense Fund

A23a, once the world’s largest iceberg, is rapidly breaking apart in the South Atlantic Ocean. After decades grounded on the seabed since it calved from Antarctica’s Filchner Ice Shelf in 1986, it began drifting again in 2020, and now, it’s disintegrating into countless fragments. As spring arrives in the Southern Hemisphere, the iceberg’s story comes to an end, melting away piece by piece. 🌍 #A23a #Antarctica #EarthFromSpace | Sen
