Deception Island
A57A iceberg
Then we sighted the largest tabular iceberg floating in this part of Antarctica: A57a. This is the remnant of a larger iceberg that broke off Larsen C Ice Shelf in 2008. It’s approximately 11 miles long by five miles wide, and that’s just a rough calculation of only what is floating above the surface! We launched Zodiacs with intrepid guests that wanted to see this wall of ice up close, while our ship sailed parallel to the face of the iceberg, providing an excellent sense of scale for this icy giant.
