The Ocean and Land Colour Instrument on Copernicus Sentinel-3 captured this image of Earth’s biggest iceberg, A23a, on 5 April 2025. CryoSat measurements of this whopping frozen beast in December 2023 put it just shy of a trillion tonnes at the time! bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…

CryoSat's main focus might be monitoring Earth's ice and water, but its magnetometer also provides data for geomagnetic field models! 🧲 At the Swarm-Macau Science Satellite joint science conference, our ice mission has featured in many presentations! 😎
