World’s largest iceberg spotted in Antarctica

  • According to Wikipedia [1], an iceberg needs to be free floating. Otherwise, I would nominate the entire Ice sheet of the Artic as the largest ice berg in the world as there are no landmass like its southern cousin.

  • Is Majorca an ISO Standard Unit of Journalism across the pond? How many Rhode Islands is a Majorca?

  • I wonder which country will claim it and make it into an aircraft carrier.

  • Is there any way to use icebergs to provide drought relief in places like CA?

    Could you find a way to direct the ice melt in one direction to even make them self powered to get where you want them?

  • For comparison, A68 which broke up near South Georgia earlier this year was 5664 sq km. This one (A76) is 4320 sq km.

  • Is there any indication of how deep this iceberg is? Is it a sheet of ice, or a small landmass? It's so cool!

  • How much is that measured in Saarlands?

  • > 175 km (106 miles) long by 25 km (15 miles) wide

    How long will that take to melt? Years?
