Map showing South Georgia island and the bathymetry around it, with overlaid the position of A23a iceberg, grounded on shallow seafloor south west of the island, about 80km away from it.
The world's largest iceberg, A23a, has now run aground in shallow waters about 80km from South Georgia island.
I've mapped bathymetry data from @bas.ac.uk in Blender with the iceberg’s latest location to understand how this unfolded.

Ridgeline chart showing the distribution of global daily air temperature differences from the pre-industrial reference period (1850-1900), for every year between 1940 and 2024. Each individual year resembles a hill, shaded in a darker shade of red and further to the right for warmer years. The trend is clearly towards warmer years, with 2024 standing out as first year above 1.5C.
NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold.
We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940.
2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.
