A giant iceberg in the Antarctic has finally begun its journey into open water.

It follows weeks where the block stayed almost static, simply drifting to and from the ice shelf it broke away from.

Now the southern tip of the A68 berg has swung away from the Larsen C shelf.

Currents in the Weddell Sea should next push the tip of the 5,800 sq tonne berg north, experts have said.
