“ the gigantic iceberg got caught in what’s known as a Taylor column, a current that forms around seamounts.”

I don’t think this is a good way to describe a Taylor column. Here (https://youtu.be/7GGfsW7gOLI?si=Do5_CvAXYSYRu5k9) is a great visualization.

I wonder if the size and rotation of this thing is substantial enough to produce a gyroscopic effect that impacts the earth's rotation or tilt in some way.

You'd think somebody would be selling tickets for this by now :)

Or maybe the Fyre "Festival" set a bad example ;)
