Scientists from the British Antarctic Survey program are preparing for an urgent mission to the world’s largest iceberg, which is on a collision course with South Georgia, a British overseas territory in the ocean. South Atlantic. The Guardian reports it.

Luxembourg’s largest A-68A iceberg broke away from Antarctica in 2017 and has been adrift ever since. Now it threatens to destroy the rich ecosystem around South Georgia by devastating the seafloor, which is home to shellfish, crustaceans, sponges and other life forms, and cooling the water.

Researchers plan to fly to the Falklands on January 11, quarantine to make sure they are free of the new coronavirus, and then embark on a three-day trip to the iceberg aboard the RRS James Cook research vessel.
