The world's largest iceberg has run aground just off the coast of South Georgia. But what does this mean for the wildlife there?

A23a weighs nearly a trillion metric tons, making it the world’s largest active iceberg. It calved from Antarctica in 1986, making it the world’s oldest berg. And now, after drifting for half a decade, A23a has grounded itself about 56 miles (90 kilometers) south of South Georgia.
