Iceberg Survives Collision and Drifts | Science News

A colossal 76-square-kilometer iceberg, calved from Greenland’s Petermann Glacier, smashed into Joe Island but miraculously held together—defying expectations and surviving the impact intact. Scientists had anticipated an even larger break, but the glacier fractured elsewhere, sending this resilient ice giant drifting through the Nares Strait.
