The World’s Largest Iceberg

Ecology meets Mail Art

The theme: A monumental iceberg melting in the Mallorquin heat.

As Mallorca experiences hotter and drier summers due to climate change, a symbolic iceberg becomes a poignant contrast — a silent, fragile reminder of what we are losing.

The contribution: Each entry should consist of a 15 cm equilateral triangle.

The sculpture: All works will be attached to the surface of the pyramid-shaped sculpture. Like fragmented ice floes coming together, each triangle adds up to a collective message of awareness, beauty, and change.

The sculpture will represent A23a, the world’s largest iceberg. Grounded in Antarctica for decades, A23a recently began moving, drifting into warmer waters near South Georgia (1,400 kilometres or 870 miles east of the Falkland Islands). It’s a symbol of the climate crisis in motion: slow, monumental, and irreversible.

The Photo

The top of the page shows the position of A23a on March 17, 2024, and on April 11, 2025. The slow drift of A23a came to a halt just off the coast of South Georgia Island. Satellite imagery showed that forward motion appeared to have stopped on February 25. The big berg appears to have become firmly grounded on the shelf that surrounds the remote island, remaining stuck well into April. (©European Space Agency, ESA)
