For billions of people around the world, January the 1st, 2020 seemed like a great day. It
was the start of a year that sounded like science fiction - 2020. Many people had great
hopes for the year ahead. Few knew what a rollercoaster ride 2020 would be and how the
world would change. The year has been dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This has
brought hundreds of thousands of deaths, economic chaos, lockdowns and masked
populations. Another huge event was the death of George Floyd at the hands of U.S.
police in July. This sparked the Black Lives Matter movement and global protests. The
year ended with Joe Biden being voted in as the President-elect of the USA.

Different people will have different memories of 2020. Our reporters asked people around
the world to tell us what they will remember 2020 for. Ahmed Hussein from Lebanon said
he would never forget the massive explosion at a Beirut port in August that killed at least
190 people. He said he thanked God none of his family or friends were hurt, but was sad
at the destruction of his city. Lucy Baxter, a nurse in the UK, said her happiest moment
came with the news of the vaccines for COVID-19. She said she could see light at the end
of a long and dark tunnel. Ayumi Miyamoto of Japan was saddened by the postponement
of the Tokyo Olympics but is happy they will go ahead in 2021. She said 2021 would be a
good year.

An enormous iceberg that is heading toward the island of South Georgia in the southern
Atlantic Ocean has broken up into three large chunks. Scientists from NASA have been
tracking the berg - dubbed A68a - for several weeks. It actually calved from the Larsen C
ice shelf in 2017 and has been floating northwards ever since. In recent weeks, a fast-
moving stream of water known as the Southern Antarctic Circumpolar Current Front has
put the chunks on a trajectory that means they could run aground off the coast of South
Georgia. Scientists say the three fragments are roughly 2,600 square kilometres in size.
The submerged part of one chunk is 106 metres at its thickest point.

The sheer bulk of the three iceberg chunks poses a serious threat to the wildlife of South
Georgia. There could be an environmental catastrophe waiting to happen. If the three mini
icebergs collide with the seabed, they could obstruct penguins and seals from foraging for
fish. They could also block the route between penguin colonies and their feeding grounds
during the breeding season. Scientists worry the underside of the fragments could grind
the seabed near South Georgia and disrupt delicate underwater ecosystems. This could
be exacerbated by the introduction of a mass of fresh water to the ecosystems as the
stationary fragments melt over the summer months.
