What broke off in Antartica wasn't a glacier... It's a huge ice berg...

From the Google Machine: "Satellite imagery provided by the British Antarctic Survey shows the iceberg wending its way through the Weddell Sea in the Southern Ocean throughout 2022 and 2023, pushed by currents and winds across thousands of kilometres.
