The Iceberg – which is more than twice as large as London – is slowly moving from Antarctica towards a possible collision with South Georgia, a place where many animals breed.
Satellite images suggest that the ice mass is not breaking up into smaller pieces, and although it is difficult to predict where it will end up, it now appears that it will reach shallower waters at South Georgia within two to four weeks, according to oceanographer Andrew Meijers.
In the worst-case scenario, it could affect seals and penguins trying to feed their young on the island, according to Meijers.
South Georgia is a British territory and is located around 1,400 kilometers east of the Falkland Islands.
