This is a photograph of the largest iceberg in the world by Anouska Freedman. The A23A is twice the size of Sydney! (It is also twice of London and thrice of New York.) The Portal shows a sharp contrast between the white iceberg and the dark blue water, and this would display perfectly on walls with red, yellow, or wooden colors.

More than just a floating chunk of ice, icebergs have a great influence over ocean currents, underwater climate, sea level, and marine life. Rising global temperatures have increased the melting rate of icebergs which bring drastic changes such as habitat destruction, food web disruption, rising sea levels, and more. This particular iceberg is slowly drifting to warmer waters, which will ultimately shrink its size.

From Anouska Freedman: A23A, the largest iceberg in the world. - A23a is a large tabular iceberg which calved from the Filchner–Ronne Ice Shelf in 1986. It was then stuck on the sea bed for many years but then started moving in 2020. Its area is about 3,900 square kilometres. I was lucky enough to bypass this iceberg in early 2024 on an expedition to the Antarctic peninsula. This is just a small section of the huge iceberg that was a breathtaking spectacle and few in the world have been witness this floating ice giant.
