Once weighing nearly 1.1 trillion tons and stretching to an area of 3,672 square miles [3,672 sq km], a little larger than Rhode Island Alysberg A23a has been closely monitored by scientists since it broke off the Filchner-Ronne ice table in Antarctica in 1986.
A23a has held the title <x0ajsberg, the largest current” several times since the 1980s, sometimes past the largest but short-lived A68 in 2017 and A76 in 2021.
Andrew Mayers, oceanographer at BAS, told CNN on Wednesday: “Aisberg is breaking and breaking into huge blocks, which themselves are designated as large icebergs from the US National Aisberg Center following these”.
The Mega-Aisberg” has now contracted to about 1,700 square miles [700 sq km], according to Meiers, which corresponds roughly to the size of Great London. /Periscopi/
