World’s Largest Iceberg A23-a Melts Away After 40 Years at Sea | Planet Pulse | N18G

The world’s largest and oldest iceberg, A23-a, is finally breaking apart after nearly four decades at sea. Born in 1986 when it split from Antarctica, the trillion-tonne giant was twice the size of Greater London and once covered 1,770 square kilometers—roughly Delhi and Mumbai combined. After drifting, grounding, and even threatening penguins near South Georgia Island, the iceberg is now melting rapidly as warmer waters tear it apart. Scientists say it could vanish within weeks, marking the end of an icy era and highlighting how climate change is accelerating the breakup of Antarctica’s frozen giants.
