The world's largest iceberg, A23a, is undergoing a dramatic disintegration in the Southern Ocean. New satellite footage captures colossal caves and arches forming as the 4,000 sq km giant meets warmer waters, a process scientists are closely monitoring.
The colossal iceberg A23a, twice the size of Greater London, is drifting dangerously towards key shipping routes after breaking free from Antarctica. Scientists warn of a significant threat to maritime traffic as it enters the 'iceberg alley'.
