World's largest iceberg heading for British territory | BBC News

The world's largest iceberg is on a collision course with a remote British island, potentially putting penguins and seals in danger.

The iceberg is spinning northwards from Antarctica towards South Georgia, a rugged British territory and wildlife haven, where it could ground and smash into pieces.

Countless birds and seals died on South Georgia's icy coves and beaches when past giant icebergs stopped them feeding.

A group of scientists around the world, sailors and fishermen are anxiously checking satellite pictures to monitor the daily movements of the iceberg.
