#iceberg
In 1997, I think most people remember the #PortilloMoment as it symbolized the scale of the #Tories' defeat then. I went to bed at about 02:00 this morning and so I missed #JacobReesMogg being shown the door but it was a great pleasure to see #LettuceLizTruss get hit by an #iceberg when I woke up at around 06:30.
In 2018 NASA found two rectangular icebergs - Spotted from a DC-8 forward camera [+]

'British photographer James Rushworth captured the moment when a #schooner passed by a #giant #iceberg off the east coast of #Greenland
The 32-year-old photographer braved temperatures of minus 10 degrees Celsius as he waited for the vessel to reach the center of the arch of the iceberg'
A68: 'Megaberg' dumped huge volume of fresh water
The monster iceberg A68 was dumping more than 1.5 billion tonnes of fresh water into the ocean every single day at the height of its melting.
To put that in context, it's about 150 times the amount of water used daily by all UK citizens.
A68 was, for a short period, the world's biggest iceberg.
It covered an area of nearly 6,000 sq km (2,300 sq miles) when it broke free from Antarctica in 2017. But by early 2021, it had vanished.
