Overview

A23A is the code name for an extraordinary iceberg – one of the oldest and largest of all icebergs. This is the story of its epic journey across the turbulent waters of the southern Atlantic Ocean. The saga began in the depths of the Weddell Sea, where A23A was born through a gigantic fracture that released an island of ice measuring 300 meters thick, 75 kilometres long, and 60 kilometres wide. One trillion tons of ice set adrift. Visible above water was an endless ice cliff 30 meters high, while 90% of the iceberg remained submerged beneath the waves. Thus began the remarkable odyssey of an Antarctic fragment that would become more than just an iceberg – it would become the protagonist of an adventure film.
