The world’s largest iceberg is an opportunity for the research of this unique “MegaBergs”, which is engaged in millions of penguins and stamps, which is engaged in millions of penguins and seals of a distant English island’s house.
A23A, known as the mass tiles of mass ice – the size of Rhode Island and weighing about a trillion tone – first reported to be directed to the island of Southern Geahalach, and reported the balance for local wildlife.
The British Antarctic Research (BAS) said on Tuesday, the Iceberg, the island hit continental shelf, which covers about 73 kilometers from itself.
A23A will stick for a long time or what it can affect local wildlife – still in the air.
“Now it will be interesting to see what happens,” said Andrew Meijers, a oceanographer, said on Tuesday.
Southern Georgia’s sub-Antarctic island is an English foreign area in northern Antarctica and about 1850 kilometers of South America. Supports a small, non-permanent population of scientists and researchers, but the abundance of wildlife is the best for five million seals between four different types and 30 different types of 65 million birds. Among them are the world’s largest flying bird and a few kinds of penguins.
One of the concerns between researchers is that the Iceberg is able to prevent wildlife in order to force the wildlife from normal ways, traveling to longer distances and bring less food to young people.
However, Meijers noted that the icebergs benefit the local ecosystem by mixing food released and settled in deep water.
If this “Towering Wall” stimulates the productivity of the ice, “can increase the population of local predators such as seals and penguins,” he said.
40 years of travel
Running Aground, this is the latest development in the 40-year life of this ice giant.
A23A tear off In 1986, Antarctica’s Filchner was on the ice shelf, but in the next three decades in the seabed at sea.
In 2020, the ocean currents hit the ocean currents, A23A, A23A hit another Snag: an ocean vortex, called a Taylor column full of ropes in the end.
Since flinging from the vortex, A23A was slowly inspired in South Georgia.
The South Georgian government and the South Sandwich Islands said In the statement In January, “closely monitor the progress of A23A and during the shipping and fishing,” the effects of wildlife are likely to be localized and transient. “
Satellite images are frozen on the spot, as it appears on the spot since March 1, which approached the continental shelter in late February, as it appears in place since March 1.
What can happen
An ice specialist of Canada, a coastal protection, said that CBC said, CBC can start moving again or began to move again as the storms near the island that can be shaken.
But “for a while there can be left there.”
Although these sized icebergs are relatively rare, this is not the first time a megaberic threatened to South Georgia. A Iceberg named A68A in 2020 called the world’s largest and sixth largest and sixth largest Iceberg – the shelf was allocated next to the island.
One 2022 Education A68A, near South Georgia, 152 Gigatonnes saw fresh water and nutrients in the ocean. This has changed the salt concentration of the surface water to insist in more than two months after a period of twice more than two months after the Iceberg melts 2023 Education.
Scientists still help in the levels of whales, seals and plankton levels, including the effects of the local ecosystem – and A23A.
Highlighted Meijers, highlighted in a focus, can help the release of Phytoplankton, and potentially increase the ability to capture more carbon dioxide than the atmosphere.
Other scientists want to know what happened under A23A, which causes the bottom and potential sliding slides, Alex Normandeau, a research scholar of Canada’s geological researcher.
“What results are in the geology of the sea?” asked. “Because the Iceberg affects housing where the places are placed, but it affects sedimentation and submarine processes.”
The icebergs and north of the Ice layer of the Antarctica are a regular part of the life cycle of the ice in Antarctica, but this said that the bonuz shelves lost more mass in the last 20 years and the fact that those belonging to climate change have lost more mass in 20 years.
“These are research areas and active research areas in other places,” he said.
