The separation of a smaller ice chunk from a larger one is called calving.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Its early life was uneventful; it sat in the Weddell Sea, east of the Antarctic Peninsula, for decades.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A23a\u2019s travels began in 2020, when it freed itself from the sea floor and began to move. By 2023, it was <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/12\/07\/climate\/iceberg-antarctica-a23a.html\" title=\"\">ready to leave<\/a> Antarctic waters entirely.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">This spring its progression hit a snag when it began <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/08\/07\/science\/a23a-iceberg-antarctica-spinning.html\" title=\"\">spinning about<\/a> in place, caught in a current known as a Taylor column near the South Orkney Islands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Escaping after several months of spinning, it then headed for South Georgia, an island east of the southern tip of South America that is a British territory and home to a couple dozen people and many seals and penguins.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-3975cfe2\">So, after that it just stopped?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Yes. It couldn\u2019t make it all the way to South Georgia, and is now stuck on the continental shelf, about 50 miles from the island.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">So far it seems to be sitting peacefully and has not begun breaking into smaller pieces, as some other giant bergs have after splitting from Antarctica.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-5b1d39f2\">How big is this thing?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Initially it was measured to be about 1,500 square miles. It has lost some of that girth, but <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/usicecenter.gov\/Products\/AntarcIcebergs\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">still is believed to be<\/a> more than 1,300 square miles. In contrast, New York City is 300 square miles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Icebergs that big are rare, Andrew Meijers, an oceanographer at British Antarctic Survey, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bas.ac.uk\/media-post\/worlds-largest-iceberg-grounds-near-sub-antarctic-island-of-south-georgia\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">said in a statement on the group\u2019s website<\/a>. \u201cThere have been two other similarly sized bergs in the same region over the past five years or so, and sporadically before that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt looks like land, that\u2019s the only way to describe it,\u201d Alexander Brearley, a physical oceanographer at the British Antarctic Survey, said last summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The iceberg that sank the Titanic was perhaps a quarter-mile long, a laughably tiny thing in comparison.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-2ed3037\">\u201cA23a\u201d is kind of dry. You\u2019d think they could do a bit better.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That\u2019s science for you. \u201cA\u201d indicates the region of Antarctica in which the iceberg was formed. The numbers are assigned sequentially, and the little \u201ca\u201d means it broke off from a bigger berg.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">More colorful coinages like \u201csuperberg\u201d or \u201cicemonster\u201d would be sadly unscientific.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-b30f02b\">What\u2019s next?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A23a will begin to break up and melt, though it will probably take a while, maybe years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cNow it\u2019s grounded, it is even more likely to break up due to the increased stresses, but this is practically impossible to predict,\u201d Dr. Meijers said. \u201cLarge bergs have made it a long way north before \u2014 one got within 1,000 kilometers of Perth, Australia, once \u2014 but they all inevitably break up and melt quickly after.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-3e121a66\">Is this all a good or bad thing?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It is unlikely that the seals and penguins of South Georgia will be affected by the iceberg. Still, \u201cpotentially, it could interrupt their pathway to feeding sites and force the adults to expend more energy to travel around it,\u201d Dr. Meijers said. \u201cThis could reduce the amount of food coming back to pups and chicks on the island, and so increase mortality.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The iceberg also contains nutrients that are released into the sea as it melts: \u201cIf the berg is stimulating ocean productivity, this could actually boost populations of local predators like seals and penguins,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt looks like the ocean has carved into it, and there are some visible cracks on the ice surface as the ice responds to the changing stresses,\u201d said Indrani Das, a glaciologist at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAs time passes, the ocean will carve deeper into it, causing it to start fragmenting further. At some point, it may even become top-heavy and topple over. Given its size, that may take years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">There is little fear of a \u201cTitanic II\u201d as boats in the region will be well aware of the iceberg\u2019s location. Once A23a breaks up, though, the smaller bergs will be harder to track, increasing the danger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But while the berg itself may pose little direct threat, it could be a symptom of what is unwell in the Antarctic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The ice shelves have lost billions of tons of ice over the last 25 years, which scientists attribute to climate change. Losing all this ice can contribute to a rise in the level of the sea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe climate is changing, and it is impacting how ice shelves melt,\u201d Dr. Das said in 2023, when the berg was still moving. \u201cIce shelves are losing mass because the ocean is warming. Calving is a natural process, but that natural calving could be enhanced by climate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Still, it was ever thus. Mammoth icebergs \u201care a completely normal part of the life cycle of the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets,\u201d Dr. Meijers said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\"
