Remember we recently kept an eye on South Georgia with regards massive iceberg A68a? Well, as you may know those islands missed out on a direct hit from the ‘berg (although some grounding on the seabed nearby did happen). Eventually A68a started to break up and smaller icebergs became evident, each being given a new identifier such as A68e, A68d, A68f etc.
On November 15, we mentioned that A68a may actually miss South Georgia and might head further south and east towards the South Sandwich islands. Check the tweets below.
#A68a is well in its way towards South Sandwich islands, a chain of islands with several active #volcanoes including Saunders (arrow) which seems like the center of a wide target. A lot of possibilities can happen, including the boring nothing spectacular. pic.twitter.com/kaLBuK8GTo

So, now all eyes on South Sandwich to see if the smaller A68a grounds there.

Souviens-toi que nous avons récemment
gardé un œil sur Géorgie du Sud en ce qui concerne l’iceberg massif A68a? Eh bien, comme vous le savez peut-être, ces îles ont raté un coup direct du
‘Berg (bien que certains échouements sur le fond marin à proximité se soient produits). Finalement, A68a a commencé à se briser et de plus petits icebergs sont devenus évidents, chacun recevant un nouvel identifiant tel que
A68e, A68d, A68f etc..
Le 15 novembre, nous
mentionné que l’A68a pourrait manquer la Géorgie du Sud et se diriger plus au sud et à l’est vers les îles Sandwich du Sud. Consultez les tweets ci-dessous.
