HARRY BAKER, LIVE SCIENCE 28 DECEMBER 2020 The world's (former) largest iceberg continues to break apart into smaller pieces on the doorstep of a major marine wildlife haven and home to millions of macaroni and king penguins in Antarctica.
This comes less than a week after the mammoth iceberg, known as A68a, first split in two, Live Science recently reported. Scientists at the US National Ice Center (USNIC) spotted the two newest pieces, A68e and A68f, on December 22 using images from the Sentinel-1A satellite, according to a USNIC statement. This means that there are now four separate iceberg fragments, including A68d, which will eventually drift away from one another.
