A giant iceberg is heading towards the coast of Australia. The iceberg broke off from Antarctica's Ross Ice Shelf ten years ago and has been drifting ever since. It is twice the size of Manhattan (approximately 87 square miles) and is threatening shipping lanes in the Pacific. The superberg is called B17B and is around 1,000 miles off the coast right now.
The superberg is not expected to hit the coast of Australia, it will break off into smaller pieces and melt before then. Glaciologist Neal Young told the Telegraph that icebergs of its size have probably not been seen since 19th-century clipper ships traveled between Britain and Australia, but that with climate change they may become more common.
It's an unusual, rare -- and disturbing -- site. Take a look:
