Currently, the gigantic iceberg A23a is moving toward the South Atlantic Ocean and will strike South Georgia Island in two to four weeks.

The biggest iceberg on Earth is heading toward a remote island, creating a potential threat to penguins and seals inhabiting the area.

Measuring roughly 1,350 square miles (3,500 square kilometers) across, A23a is the world's largest and oldest iceberg according to AFP News. Its imposing size and slow, steady movement have captivated oceanographers and researchers alike, though predicting its exact path has proven difficult due to the unpredictable forces of ocean currents.

While warming temperatures are driving a widespread loss of ice shelves, major calving events have not increased in frequency or size.

The trillion-ton slab of ice named A23a could slam into South Georgia Island and get stuck or be guided around it by currents.

Iceberg A23a, one of the world's largest icebergs, is drifting toward South Georgia, posing potential risks to wildlife and sailors.

A23a, the world’s largest iceberg, broke loose from Antarctica; now it’s spiraling towards South Georgia Island.

If it gets stuck near South Georgia Island, that could make it hard for penguin parents to feed their babies and some young could starve.

For over 30 years, the A23a iceberg stayed anchored to the Antarctic Weddell Sea floor before it shrank and lost its grip on the seafloor which turned it into a massive floating fragment of ice. The iceberg has been floating for the past two years.

This is not the first time an iceberg has posed a threat to South Georgia. In 2004, iceberg A38 "grounded on its continental shelf, leaving dead penguin chicks and seal pups on beaches as massive ice chunks blocked their access to feeding grounds,
