• A23a, an enormous iceberg that broke away from Antarctica almost 40 years ago, has been spinning around the Antarctic Ocean for a year, caught in a vortex, the Mirror reported.
But now it's on the move again, headed roughly toward South Georgia, a British-owned island that is largely uninhabited.
A23a, at more than 1,200 feet thick and 1,400 square miles, can be seen from space.
Sea captain Simon Wallace, stationed on the Pharos vessel in South Georgia, told the BBC: "Icebergs are inherently dangerous. I would be extraordinarily happy if it just completely missed us."
A collision could threaten wildlife on the island, including penguins, seals and sea birds.
The iceberg's fate depends on currents and whether it gets "stuck" on the continental shelf around the island.
