The largest iceberg in the world, called the A68a, would quickly move to a British island in the South Atlantic.
The Antarctic giant is similar in size to the island and is at risk of "reaching" the coast of South Georgia, which means that wildlife in the area will be endangered, BBC News reports .
Thus, this would pose a serious threat to penguins and seals. Animal feeding routes could be blocked and seabed creatures crushed.
The iceberg would have an area of almost 4,200 square kilometers, weighing hundreds of billions of tons. Given that it is sunk to a depth of 200 meters, it can move without problems to the coast of South Georgia.
According to researchers, a possible impact could also have positive aspects, because it could bring huge amounts of dust, which could fertilize the ocean plankton in the area.
