The iceberg designated A‑81 has moved out of the Weddell Sea in Antarctica, completing the transit more rapidly than typical for such large ice masses.
After leaving the sea, the iceberg’s movement slowed as it approached the continental shelf surrounding the remote island of South Georgia, where it now drifts near the underwater shelf.
