  A23a iceberg poses no threat to South Georgia, for now

  

  The world's largest iceberg, A23a, has grounded 73 kilometers off South Georgia Island, alleviating concerns about a potential collision that could have disrupted the local wildlife's food supply. The iceberg, weighing nearly one billion tons, has been drifting north from Antarctica since 2020. Its current position reduces risks to the region's penguins and seals.
