If it hits, the food chain for the penguins could be cut off, leading to starvation among the native birds as well as nesting seals. If it does, it could block off the path to open water and also disturb local marine wildlife. In both instances, the iceberg would majorly disrupt the natural food supply. While parts of the iceberg have crumbled, it still remains record-breaking in size and is a major concern to scientists. Antarctic iceberg collision sparks frenzy mission to save penguin colony (Image: Copernicus Sentinel 3 Mosaic / Polar View) Gliders will analyse the iceberg (Image: David White) A British team of experts will now send a fleet of underwater robotic gliders to analyse the iceberg and determine just how catastrophic the crashing of the iceberg could be.
