 CLIMATE: An iceberg more than twice the size of Greater London is now drifting beyond Antarctic waters, according to the British Antarctic Survey.
Iceberg A23a split from the Antarctic's Filchner ice shelf in 1986 but became stuck to the ocean floor and had remained for many years in the Weddell Sea.
It has been drifting for the past year and is now picking up speed and moving past the northern tip of Antarctica, helped by wind and ocean currents.
