World's largest iceberg on crash course with island, putting millions of penguins in danger
The "megaberg" - which is twice the size of Greater London and 130 feet tall - is on a crash course with the remote island of South Georgia, and could make it hard for the millions of penguins and seals there to feed.

The world's largest iceberg is on a collision course with the British territory of South Georgia - potentially putting millions of penguins and seals in danger.
The trillion-tonne slab of ice, named A23a, broke free from its position last month and started drifting northwards.
The "megaberg" - which is twice the size of Greater London and 130 feet tall - is expected to approach the remote island off Antarctica in the next two to four weeks.
