Ambitious iceberg

 

Famously and tragically, an iceberg hit the luxury ocean cruise ship Titanic, causing the ship of dreams to sink on its maiden voyage in 1912.

Now there's an iceberg with a bigger target to take down -- South Georgia Island in the far southern Atlantic Ocean.

Of course, it's very unlikely that the iceberg could sink the island.  But just seeing it try would be very interesting (but it might be bad for the penguins).

The picture in the article is from November 5.    Below is a more recent one from November 21.  The iceberg is definitely closer to the island.   South Georgia Island is in the top right corner;  the iceberg is pretty obvious.
