gerontocrat, on: February 23, 2018, 07:25:27 PM you asked where the icebergs in the Weddell sea started out. In the topic "Antarctic Icebergs" I said:-
"Some other 'bergs are heading off from the Weddell Sea in the direction of South Georgia - b15z (15*7nm), b15t (25*6nm), c28b (21*14nm) and b09f (20*8nm) are fairly clear.
A new recruit has been b15aa (11*6nm) which came round the bend from the east above the Brunt ice shelf (about October 24 2017) and has been drifting round in small circles all this summer season, rather than going south towards Brunt."
b15 was a huge berg from the Ross Sea, so its remains (b15z, b15t) have travelled in a westerly direction 3/4 of the way round Antarctica before heading north into the South Atlantic Ocean.
b15aa was doing cart-wheels round the coast last year, and after being freed from the winter pack, was continuing but stalled. It is now drifting away from the shore - is it going to take a short cut towards the Antarctic Peninsular, drift north, or continue south round the Weddell Sea? Time will tell!
