Trillion-tonne iceberg A23a spins on the spot

Scientists have reported that the trillion-tonne iceberg A23a is spinning on the spot in the Weddell Sea. The massive iceberg, which is one of the largest in the world, has been slowly turning in a clockwise direction for the past few days.

This phenomenon has fascinated researchers, who are monitoring the iceberg closely to understand its movements and potential impact on the surrounding environment. A23a broke off from the Larsen C ice shelf in Antarctica in 2017 and has been drifting through the Southern Ocean ever since.

Despite its size and weight, the iceberg’s rotation is believed to be the result of ocean currents and winds in the region. Scientists are hopeful that studying A23a’s movements will provide valuable insights into the dynamics of icebergs and their interactions with the climate.
