The world’s largest iceberg – London’s size more than twice – a distant is a distant island where a scientist warns that this child disrupts feeding for penguins and seals.
The huge wall of snow is slowly moving from Antarctica on a possible collision course with South Georgia with an important wildlife breeding ground in South Atlantic.
Satellite imagery suggested that unlike the previous “megabengs” it was not falling into the wicked small fragmentation as it was provoked through the southern Ocean, a physicist of the British Antarctic survey, Andrew Meysers, a physicist of the British Antarctic survey, told AFP on Friday.
He said it was difficult to predict its exact course, but the prevailing streams suggested that Kolosus would reach the shallow continental shelf around South Georgia in two to four weeks.
But what can happen next, someone estimates, he said.
It can avoid the shelf and take it to open water beyond South Georgia, a British foreign region in a British foreign region (east of Falkland Islands about 1,400 km (870 miles).
Or it can hit the bottom of the slope and can get stuck for months or break into pieces.
The measers said that this landscape can seriously seal and try to feed and raise the penguin to their youth in the city.
He said, “Iceberg has grounded there in the past and this has led to a significant mortality for penguin chicks and seal puppies,” he said.
‘White Wall’
About 3,500 square kilometers (1,350 sq mi), the world’s largest and oldest iceberg, known as A23A, was pacified in 1986 with the Antarctic shelf.
It was finally stuck for more than 30 years before it was finally freed in 2020, its length journey was sometimes delayed by the ocean forces in the north which wandered in place.
Meirs – who led the Iceberg, leading a scientific mission at the end of 2023 – described “a huge white rock, 40 or 50 meters high, which extends from the horizon to the horizon”.
“It is like this white wall. This game of throne-esk, in fact, said, referring to the dark fantasy chain.
The A23A has followed the same route as the iceberg on a large scale, which passes through the Vedel Sea east of the Antarctica Peninsula, called the “Himkhand Gali”.
Tawing slightly under a trillion ton, this demon block of freshwater was being whispered by the world’s most powerful ocean “Jet Stream” – Antarctic Circampolar Current.
Raul Koradero of Santiago University, Chile, who is also part of the National Antarctic Research Committee, stated that he was confident that Himshil would sideline South Georgia.
“The island acts as a barrier to sea currents and so usually removes water long before reaching the island,” he said.
He said, “The iceberg is transferred to that water flow, so the possibility of killing it is not as much,” although the chunks could, he said.
Another scientist, Glasiologist Soledad Tirti currently on the Antarctic’s exploration trip to the Antarctic, said that iceings like A23A are “so deep that they usually get stuck before reaching an island or mainland”.
Icy obstruction
It is heat in South Georgia and resident Penguin and seals along its southern coast are forging in frosty water to bring back food to get their youth back.
“If the iceberg parks there, it will either block physically where they eat, or they have to go around it,” said the measers.
“It burns a large amount of excess energy for them, so it is low energy for puppies and chicks, which causes an increase in mortality.”
Seal and penguin population on South Georgia is already “bad weather” with bird flu outbreak and that (Iceberg) will make it quite worse, “he said.
As A23A eventually melted, it can seed water with nutrients that encourage phytoplinkon growth, feed whales and other species, and allow scientists to study that by such bloom How carbon dioxide is absorbed from the atmosphere.
While icebergs are natural phenomena, the measers said that the rate at which they were losing from Antarctica were growing, possibly due to human -induced climate change.
