Paragraph 1
A
iceberg heading towards the island of South Georgia in the
Atlantic Ocean has split into three large
. NASA scientists are tracking the berg, called A68a. It actually split from the Larsen C ice
in 2017 and has been floating northwards ever since. In
weeks, a fast-moving
of water in the Southern Antarctic has put the chunks on a
that means they could run aground off the
of South Georgia. Scientists say the three fragments are about 2,600
kilometres in size. The underwater part of one chunk is 106 metres
.
