(10325) Bexa Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 18 November 1990 by E. W. Elst at La Silla.
The iceberg B10A, which measures some 80 km by 40 km, broke off from the Thwaites glacier in Antarctica in 1992. Having taken hundreds of thousands of years to form, B10A now drifts in the South Atlantic driven by marine currents and wind.Naming citation (19991123/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
