The World’s Biggest Iceberg Is Finally Crumbling

Just months ago, the world’s largest iceberg weighed about a trillion tons and covered an area nearly the size of Anchorage, Alaska. Now it’s less than half that—and rapidly disappearing. In recent weeks, massive chunks of ice measuring up to 250 square miles (400 square kilometers) have sloughed off the “megaberg” known as A23a. Smaller pieces float freely in the surrounding waters too, many of them still big enough to threaten ships. The iceberg’s disintegration has reduced its total area to

Scientists Uncover Surprising Link Between Tides and Earth’s Biggest Icebergs

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-12-24 11:00:23

In 2021, researchers in Antarctica noticed giant cracks developing on the Brunt Ice Shelf, an enormous stretch of ice on the continent’s northwestern corner. Two years later, the fracture grew so large that a gigantic iceberg almost twice the size of New York City broke free in a process called calving, sending scientists scrambling to investigate the icy chunk, which they named iceberg A-81. A team of researchers affiliated with the British Antarctic Survey sought to understand the forces driv
