      It seems that the big piece now moves to NW and the smaller ones to NE. May be due to a different depth and so reaching different current layers?

        ...or maybe because of the divergence of the sea currents
        in the area aprox. 90 NM south of the S. Georgia island.

          Finally the iceberg stopped travelling and broke into several pieces.

              Interesting, it shows how these huge icebergs are born.
