World’s largest iceberg collision – level 2
28-01-2025 07:00
The biggest iceberg in the world, A23A, is moving quickly toward South Georgia, a British island with many penguins and seals.
This iceberg broke away from Antarctica in December and is now in ‘Iceberg Alley,’ a place where icebergs often break apart. Sailors, fishermen, and scientists are using satellites to follow it because it might block important feeding areas for animals. When such collisions happened before, they caused many birds and seals to die.
Scientists are studying the iceberg to understand how it changes the ocean. This iceberg broke away a long time ago, so it may not be from climate change, but global warming could cause more icebergs like this in the future. It is dangerous for wildlife but also gives researchers an opportunity to learn.
Difficult words: iceberg (a big piece of ice floating in the sea), feed (to give food to someone), opportunity (a chance of something happening).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
What are the potential impacts of the movement of iceberg A23A on the wildlife of South Georgia, and why is it important for scientists to study this event?
