This iceberg was once the biggest in the world. Now it has just weeks left  - BBC News
A23a was once twice the size of Greater London but now its 40-year journey is coming to an end.
🌍 A giant iceberg called A23a broke off from Antarctica in 1986. It was once the biggest iceberg in the world and was even bigger than the city of London.
🧊 The iceberg stayed stuck in the ocean for more than 30 years. In 2020 it started moving again and traveled across the sea on a long journey.
🌊 Ocean currents pushed A23a around the South Atlantic Ocean. Sometimes it got stuck or spun in circles before continuing its trip.
☀️ As the iceberg moved into warmer water and air, it slowly melted. Big pieces broke off and cracks filled with water made it split apart.
🔬 Scientists watched A23a carefully because it helps them learn how ice in Antarctica might melt as Earth’s climate becomes warmer. Soon the iceberg will disappear completely.
