Among the clouds and sea ice, the iceberg is shown alongside the tracks of previous large icebergs A68 and A76a. The animation has been compiled from Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellite imagery.

Scientists will be closely watching this iceberg as it's rare to see one of this size on the move. In 2020, another massive iceberg, A68, sparked fears of collision with South Georgia.

At its largest it was roughly the size of Delaware, covering approximately 2,300 square miles (6,000 square kilometers), and in 2017 it famously calved off another iceberg, A68, dumping 1 trillion ...

Named A68, it's one of the largest icebergs on record. This month, the iceberg got a nudge from powerful winds and is now on its way into the nearby Weddell Sea.

A68 was, for a short period, the world's biggest iceberg. It covered an area of nearly 6,000 sq km (2,300 sq miles) when it broke free from Antarctica in 2017. But by early 2021, it had vanished.

Ice melange is the slushy mix of frozen seawater, wind-blown snow and iceberg debris that typically helps to glue together iceberg rifts. In the case of A-68, however, the scientists report ...

Physical processes controlling the rifting of Larsen C Ice Shelf, Antarctica, prior to the calving of iceberg A68. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2021; 118 (40): e2105080118 DOI ...

A68 was once about the size of Prince Edward Island. It was believed to be the world’s largest iceberg while intact, although it wasn’t quite as big as the B15 iceberg which had an area of ...
