Sculpted by erosion
World's largest iceberg in photos

Privacy Policy

Erosion has carved dramatic arches and caves in the world's largest iceberg, named A23a.

The images above were captured by Richard Sidey, of EYOS Expeditions, cruising along the iceberg as it moves north of Antarctica.

While spectacular to look at, the reason for the erosion is due to the iceberg encountering warmer ocean waters as waves crash into it, alongside higher air temperatures.

The A23a iceberg is on the move for the first time in three decades and is twice the size of London.

Despite its enormity, the iceberg is expected to melt and disappear at some point, though there is still some element of hope it could survive for a little longer as it is due to encounter another iceberg in its path of migration.

The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
