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.

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