HIDING BELOW THE CLOUDS
More than 80 Nm long and 25 Nm wide sailing A68A tabular iceberg moving Northerly towards South Georgia
Beautiful satellite picture of A 68 A in the clear sky pushed by current and wind into Northerly direction. Current, swell and wind conditions, favorable. Same as the temperature of the sea and air.
Initial observation from July 2017, when A68A was still in the Weddel sea.
New Norwegian Meteo Institute ice chart with A68A about 330 km from South Georgia.
