A new D-30 iceberg was formed two years ago due to the collision of the D-28 iceberg and the Borhgrevinka ice shelf in the Queen Maud Territory region of East Antarctica.
It broke apart almost immediately, forming the D-30A ice block, 72 kilometers long and 20 kilometers wide. It drifted through Antarctica until crashing into Clarence Island in 2023.
This image taken by NASA’s Aqua satellite shows D-30A crashing into the edge of Clarence Island on September 6, 2023.
Other images show the iceberg approaching the island in late August, “crashing” into the southeast coast, and then circling the island in the first two weeks of September.
By the end of the first month of autumn, the iceberg moved away from the island and continued to drift north. Source
