The world’s largest iceberg is on a collision course with a remote British island, potentially putting penguins and seals in danger.
The iceberg is spinning northwards from Antarctica towards South Georgia, a rugged British territory and wildlife haven, where it could ground and smash into pieces.

A group of scientists around the world, sailors and fishermen are anxiously checking satellite pictures to monitor the daily movements of the iceberg.
