It's a bit foggy on the #EnglishChannel #LaManche today.

This iceberg was once the biggest in the world. Now it has just weeks left - BBC News A23a was once twice the size of Greater London but now its 40-year journey is coming to an end.

Quite a stark #Antarctic #iceberg (A23a) article I read this morning on the #BBCNews website:
www.bbc.co.uk/news/resourc...
Scary stuff! There’s a map graphic showing the reduction in size between start-Jan 2025 & this month. (Comparison of the iceberg sitting within #EnglishChannel #LaManche)

Channel crossings: More and more are taking to the sea from Belgium to reach England According to Belgian authorities, an increasing number of migrant boats are leaving the Belgian coast to try to reach the United Kingdom by crossing the English Channel irregularly. This new route is ...

More and more #migrant boats are leaving from #Belgium to try to cross the #EnglishChannel and reach the #UK irregularly, as smugglers are trying to evade increased surveillance along the French coastline.

Belgium is located about 100km away from Britain - compared to 45km in the case of France.

Channel migrant crossings resume as 74 arrive in the UK after two-week pause Migrants have reached the United Kingdom after crossing the English Channel for the first time in two weeks, according to reports and official data. On Wednesday, people wearing life jackets and coats were seen disembarking from a Border Force vessel in Ramsgate, Kent, following a period of poor weather that had prevented attempted crossings. A temporary improvement in conditions is believed to have enabled several small boats to set off from northern France. Home Office figures indicate that 74 migrants arrived on Tuesday, marking the first successful crossing since 9 February, when 322 people reached UK shores. In total, 597 people have crossed the Channel so far this month. The latest arrivals come amid continued political and public debate over the handling of small boat crossings and border security. The renewed crossings follow the publication of findings from an independent inquiry into the deadliest Channel incident on record. The investigation examined the capsizing of an overcrowded inflatable boat on the night of 23–24 November 2021, which resulted in the deaths of 27 men, women and children. Four additional people remain missing. Only two survivors were discovered in French waters nearly 12 hours after the first distress calls were made. Led by Sir Ross Cranston and costing more than £7 million, the inquiry concluded that some of the deaths were avoidable. It identified systemic failures, missed opportunities and chronic staff shortages in the UK’s maritime response as contributing factors in the unsuccessful rescue effort. The report stated that small boat crossings 'must end' to prevent further loss of life, underscoring ongoing concerns about safety, coordination and border management in the Channel.
