Gunung Es Berukuran 4.000 Km Tercabut dari Akarnya, Begini Penampakannya

"Iceberg Measuring 4,000 Km Detached from Its Roots, Here's How It Looks"

This is the possible consequence that may arise if the remnants of the iceberg pass through the sea area.

A23a, the largest iceberg in the world with a length of 4,000 km, will undergo movement towards the open ocean after 40 years of being attached to the seabed. This iceberg, nicknamed the "iceberg monster," has a thickness of approximately 400 meters and a surface area four times the size of New York City, as reported by Science Alert and NPR.

"Overall, the A23a iceberg is equivalent to one trillion tons of ice. So it is difficult to understand how big and extensive this ice block is,"

clear Ted Scambos, Scientist and Senior Researcher, University of Colorado Boulder.

In the news about the movement of an iceberg from its original location, the Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellite owned by the European Space Agency (ESA) immediately monitors its movement. After investigation, it was revealed that this iceberg has been pushed by wind and currents. Scientists estimate that currently, A23a is moving at a speed of approximately 4.8 km (3 miles) per day.

"Iceberg Will Break Free from the Earth's Surface"

"Thus, ESA explains that iceberg A23a will shrink and detach from the land, then float in the ocean."

Experts also project that the iceberg from the Weddell region is likely to reach Iceberg Alley, in the Southern Atlantic.

However, it cannot be fully confirmed. According to Scambos, if A23a does not get stranded in shallow waters, it could be carried as far as Africa or the Indian Ocean.

"Chunks from A23a can even drift almost around the Earth, as happened to some icebergs that have experienced displacement,"

Can Damage Marine Creature Habitats

The translation of the given text from Bahasa to English while preserving any HTML tags is as follows: "The movement of A23a is not only surprising due to its large size, but also has a significant impact, especially on marine life. This iceberg can damage the habitat of marine creatures on the ocean floor."

               

"There will be many lives and marine ecosystems completely destroyed when the chunks from this mountain pass through."
Ted Scambos, Scientist and Senior Researcher, University of Colorado Boulder.
