The largest iceberg on Earth is off to see the rest of the world! 

Measuring 1,700 square miles (4,300 square kilometers), Iceberg A-23A has been relatively stagnant off the coast of Antarctica since it broke off of an ice shelf in 1986. But "lately it’s been traveling more quickly as it drifts northward across the Weddell Sea," according to NASA. "It’s moving closer to shipping lanes, islands inhabited by wildlife, and the warmer waters of the Southern Ocean that will ultimately cause the berg to melt."
