a, The trajectory of iceberg A-68A across the Scotia Sea from 21 January 2020 to 12 February 2021. The iceberg shapes are coloured according to date49. b, The trajectory of iceberg A-68A from 14 February to 22 March 2021 when the glider–iceberg separation was <75 km. The glider was trapped from 14 February to 4 March (transparent). Each coloured triangle (iceberg) and corresponding coloured square (glider) are temporally matched, with the minimum separation distance between the glider and iceberg edge shown below. For both panels, the bathymetry (GEBCO Compilation Group, 2023) is shown with 1,000 m and 0 m isobaths illustrated as blue and black, respectively, and the ACC fronts are overlain using the SEANOE dataset50. SAF, subantarctic front; PF, polar front (PF); SACCF, Southern Antarctic circumpolar current front; SB, southern boundary.
