The world’s largest iceberg is on a collision course with the British territory of South Georgia - potentially putting millions of penguins and seals in danger.
The trillion-tonne slab of ice, named A23a, broke free from its position last month and started drifting northwards.
The “megaberg” - which is twice the size of Greater London and 130 feet tall - is expected to approach the remote island off Antarctica in the next two to four weeks.
If it’s that big, how can it even hit the island? Wouldn’t it be grounded long before?
Momentum is a pretty powerful thing.
