"Iceberg" if that is the right terminology for something so large, may disrupt upwelling of very cold deep sea water near Antarctica. The exchange between deeper cooler water and warmer surface water is one of the mechanisms that helps drive oceanic currents around the globe, and is the primary source of much of the world's weather. Iceberg is floating south of Australia.
