Sydney - An iceberg twice the size of Sydney Harbour is heading towards Western Australia, news reports said Wednesday. The iceberg, known as B17B and measuring 19 kilometres by 8 kilometres, is drifting with the currents 1,700 kilometres from Australia's west coast.
It was three times its current size when it broke off Antarctica's Ross Ice Shelf in 2000 and Australian Antarctic Division glaciologist Neal Young said it was one of the largest to be spotted so far north.
He told Australian news agency AAP that "it's one of the biggest sighted at those latitudes."
