An iceberg visible from space has prompted experts to issue a terrifying warning to the public.
The world’s largest glacial mass, named A23a, has been seen drifting across the Antarctic Ocean and is approximately the size of a Hawaiian island.
The iceberg, which is taller than London’s Shard building (310m), has been experiencing rapid deterioration, with scientists able to see pools of water on the ice’s surface.
The melting of the iceberg is set to show catastrophic changes to the Antarctic, as the pools of water predict that the ice is melting in the area at a far quicker pace than anticipated.
A23a currently runs 1,400 square miles, or around the size of Los Angeles.

However, it has shrunk since it broke away from Antarctica in 1986, with many sections of ice falling away and sinking into the ocean in recent months.
