Expedition to titanic-size iceberg

Though it's the size of Jamaica, Godzilla comes without the friendly locals and balmy climate.

Godzilla, an iceberg officially called B-15, was 300km by 30km when it split from the Ross Sea ice shelf earlier this year. The ice, now broken in two, has headed 50km northwest.

Scientists are planning a full-scale investigation this Antarctic summer season, in October.

The New Zealand-based Heritage Expeditions is offering travellers the opportunity to get close to this frozen floating island on two of its wildlife cruises aboard the refurbished Akademik Shokalsky.
