Bearing the Brunt

What could be worse than hearing there’s an iceberg up ahead?  Perhaps hearing that there’s one on the loose.

A “massive” chunk of ice recently dislodged from the Brunt Shelf in Antarctica.  What may happen next is anyone’s guess.  Said berg could mosey on down through open waters or remain close to the motherlode.

Although Professor Adrian Luckman of Swansea University describes this event as “exciting,” he might change his tune if it’s heading his way.
