Iceberg A-23A Turns Deep Blue in Final Days, Marking End of a Forty-Year Giant
A massive chunk of ice from Antarctica's Filchner Ice Shelf broke off 40 years ago, in 1986. This gigantic iceberg was given the name A-23A, and as it entered the globe, it made history in a big way, as the ice covered 4,000 square kilometers, nearly twice the size of Rhode Island. Scientists have been attentively following this ice age ...

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

On January 14th our recent expedition passed by Iceberg A23a, currently the largest iceberg on the planet, which is on the move in the Southern Ocean. The aerial imagery I captured together with expedition leader Ian Strachan quickly got the attention of the worldwide media and just a few hours later was the headline story on BBC News! Here is the story that ran that evening. | Richard Sidey

Iceberg A23a caught from space as it's drifting away from Antarctica. 🛰️ The colossal A23a iceberg, a behemoth that broke off from Antarctica in 1986, was captured on 4K satellite video as it navigates the Southern Ocean. Previous satellite measurements revealed staggering dimensions—a colossal mass nearing a trillion tonnes, spanning an area of almost 4,000 square kilometres (1,500 square miles) - making it more than twice the size of Greater London - and boasting an average thickness exceedin

Iceberg A23A, one of the largest icebergs in the world, has recently become unstuck from the seafloor near Antarctica and is now drifting in the Southern Ocean. This iceberg calved from the Filchner Ice Shelf in 1986 and remained grounded on the seafloor of the Weddell Sea for nearly four decades. Its liberation began in the early 2020s, likely due to melting from beneath the waterline. A23A spans approximately 40 miles across and is about 1,312 feet thick. It began drifting freely in the Weddel

The world's largest and most enduring iceberg, A23a, is now in its "death spiral," splintering into smaller pieces and no longer holding the title of the biggest chunk of ice floating in the oceans. It has been drifting between the southern tips of Africa and South America and is expected to vanish in the coming weeks.

The Final Drift of Earth’s Oldest Iceberg After 40 years of drifting across the Southern Ocean, Iceberg A-23A is nearing its end — and turning a brilliant shade of blue. 🧊💙 Originally the size of a small country, A-23A broke off Antarctica’s Filchner Ice Shelf back in 1986. It stayed grounded for decades, but in 2023 it finally broke loose. Now, as it melts in warmer waters, it's shrinking fast and glowing cyan as meltwater pools deepen cracks in the dense, ancient ice.

🚨 Titanic Iceberg FINALLY Breaks Apart After 40 Years. NASA has released dramatic satellite images of Iceberg A-23A, once the world’s largest iceberg, finally collapsing as it drifts into the warmer waters of the Southern Ocean. First breaking free from Antarctica in 1986, A-23A was a frozen giant roughly the size of Delaware. For decades, it stayed grounded near Antarctica, but recent shifts in currents and rising temperatures carried it into a turbulent northward journey. Now, NASA’s Earth Ob
