The biggest iceberg on Earth is heading toward a remote island, creating a potential threat to penguins and seals inhabiting the area.

If it gets stuck near South Georgia Island, that could make it hard for penguin parents to feed their babies and some young could starve.

The gigantic wall of ice is moving slowly from Antarctica on a potential collision course with a crucial wildlife breeding ground in the South Atlantic.

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 biggest iceberg — a wall of ice the size of Rhode Island — is lumbering toward a remote island off Antarctica that’s home to millions of penguins and seals. The trillion-ton slab of ice — called a megaberg — could slam into South Georgia Island and get stuck or be guided around it

The trillion-ton slab of ice named A23a could slam into South Georgia Island and get stuck or be guided around it by currents.

The colossal iceberg A23a, towering at 40 meters and spanning an area greater than the Australian Capital Territory, is now advancing towards South Georgia Island, a remote British territory near Antarctica.
