Y es precisamente por eso que, tres años después de su fallecimiento, Diego Maradona sigue vivo en Nápoles: la ciudad lo recuerda en una cantidad casi infinita de fotografías, dibujos, altares, bustos y mensajes que evocan la gloria pasada y acompañan la gloria presente de su equipo de fútbol.En Nápoles, Maradona tiene estatus de santo popular: su imagen se puede ver en altares construidos en su honor y en otros donde convive con imágenes religiosas y de integrantes de familias que veneran al astro, quien jugó en el Partenopei entre 1984 y 1991. Su cabeza, en múltiples retratos, está rodeada por esa aureola dorada que identifica a santos (y en ocasiones a emperadores). Su presencia parece competirle a la de San Genaro, el santo oficial de la ciudad. Y aunque en las calles los carteles y las voces ...

One of world’s largest icebergs drifting beyond Antarctic waters after it was grounded for 3 decades

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 04:15:29 GMT

LONDON (AP) — One of the world’s largest icebergs is drifting beyond Antarctic waters, after being grounded for more than three decades, according to the British Antarctic Survey.The iceberg, known as A23a, split from the Antarctic’s Filchner Ice Shelf in 1986. But it became stuck to the ocean floor and had remained for many years in the Weddell Sea.The iceberg is about three times the size of New York City and more than twice the size of Greater London, measuring around 4,000 square kilometers (1,500 square miles).Andrew Fleming, a remote sensing expert from the British Antarctic Survey, told the BBC on Friday that the iceberg has been drifting for the past year and now appears to be picking up speed and moving past the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, helped by wind and ocean currents. “I asked a couple of colleagues about this, wondering if there was any possible change in shelf water temperatures that might have provoked it, but the consensus is the time had just c...
