According to the Institute, A23A is located 130 km north of the South George Island and continues to dragged to the north by destroying winds and currents. In recent weeks, four large pieces of more than 800 km² have been broken from the iceberg and now moved as an independent refrigerator. Some parts swim to the southwest.
Experts say that broken parts do not pose a danger to ships – quite large and easily noticed on radars. Melting of the refrigerator will not affect the level of the oceans as the process is slow and the water is equally redistributed.
In September 1986, the refrigerator A23A left the Cheelphic glacier of the film writer. For more than 30 years, he has stopped shallow in the middle of the Wedell Sea. In November 2023, the ice giant began to drift again and in the spring of 2024, he went to the Skosh Sea on the shores of the Antarctica Peninsula.
