Meet A23a, the iceberg that's been hitchhiking on ocean currents, cruising like a climate change influencer in summer pool floatie mode. After months of flirting with warmer waters—possibly sipping chestnut-spiced melt trauma—it’s finally doing what every Hollywood breakup scene dreams of: shattering spectacularly, piece by dramatic piece. No, it’s not avoiding commitment, just following nature's brutally honest cold-to-warm transition script, dissolving dreams and chilling our smug denial. Scientists predicted this breakup like a soap opera spoiler, except no one asked for this soap binge but now can’t look away from A23a’s inevitable meltdown sequel.
