Ovo planeta nije smela da vidi: Najveći ledeni breg se pretvara u plavu kašu
Nekada najveći ledeni breg na svetu, A23a, pretvorio se u vizuelno fascinantnu masu prošarane plavičaste „kaše“, što prema novim satelitskim snimcima ukazuje da mu se bliži kraj. Ova ledena gromada, koja je donedavno bila čak tri puta veća od Njujorka, jedan je od najstarijih zabeleženih ledenih bregova i danas se približava četrdesetoj godini postojanja.
TL;DR
- A23a, the former largest iceberg globally, is now observed as a blue slush, indicating its decline.
- It broke off from the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf in Antarctica in 1986 and was grounded for nearly four decades.
- A23a became free in 2020 and its journey included being trapped in an ocean current before heading towards South Georgia.
- It began to break apart in May 2025, avoiding a collision with South Georgia.
- Current satellite images show it significantly reduced in size, covered in meltwater pools and what appears to be mud-like ice.
- The blue areas are meltwater lakes formed as surface ice loses structural integrity.
- The iceberg has lost its title as the world's largest, currently held by D15A.
- The exact current size and whether complete disintegration has begun are unclear.
