Trillion-tonne iceberg A23a spins on the spot

An iceberg the size of a small country, known as A23a, has been spotted spinning on the spot in the icy waters of Antarctica. The trillion-tonne iceberg is over 4,320 square kilometers in size and has been drifting through the Weddell Sea since it calved from the Larsen C ice shelf in 2022.

Experts have been monitoring the movements of A23a closely and were surprised to see it start rotating in a circular motion. Scientists believe that the rotation is caused by a combination of ocean currents and wind forces acting on the massive iceberg.

The spinning iceberg has sparked concerns about potential impacts on local wildlife and shipping routes in the region. A23a is currently drifting towards the open ocean, and researchers are keeping a close eye on its movements to assess any potential risks.

Despite the dramatic spinning display, experts are confident that A23a is unlikely to pose a direct threat to populated areas. However, the sheer size and power of the trillion-tonne iceberg serve as a stark reminder of the impact of climate change on the fragile ecosystems of Antarctica.
