The Largest Iceberg On Earth Was Stuck For 30 Years

In 1986, a colossal slab of ice broke away from Antarctica's Filchner Ice Shelf. Named A23a, it covered almost 4,000 square kilometres, more than twice the size of London, and weighed close to a trillion tonnes. Then it ran aground on the floor of the Weddell Sea and stayed stuck there for more than 30 years. Now the biggest iceberg on Earth is finally drifting free into the open ocean.
