UK-led mission to study world’s biggest iceberg on collision course with South Georgia Harry Cockburn UP NEXT A UK-led team of scientists will be sent to Antarctica to study the world’s largest iceberg, which is on a collision course with the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia. The iceberg, A-68a – a floating chunk roughly the size of Jamaica – is now less than 50km from the island. Its arrival could spell disaster for much of the wildlife around South Georgia, one of the world’s most important ecosystems. The island was a major whaling station until the mid-20th century, but now has no permanent human residents.
