The ice mountain broke away from Antarctica in 2017 – Ansa /Courier TV
The largest iceberg in the world, known as the A68, has melted. The ice mountain broke away from Antarctica in 2017 and had an area of 6,000 square kilometers. Its original weight was close to one billion tons. For a year it had remained motionless, then it had started to move suddenly driven by currents and winds. Thanks to this “escape” from the mother platform Larsen C had gone viral on the web. The A68 had crossed the South Atlantic to get close to the British overseas territory of South Georgia. According to the National Ice Center in the US, the A68 shattered into thousands of small pieces that are no longer worth following.
