2018年6月11日 · Now the iceberg is nearly gone. See its remant from space, and the track of its journey. B15 was the largest iceberg ever recorded to break away from Antarctica’s Ross Ice Shelf.

It is only about one-third the size of the biggest iceberg in recorded history, B-15 which calved off of Antarctica's Ross Ice Shelf in 2000. The B-15 iceberg covered more than 10,878 square km (4,200 square miles) when it broke away, according to NASA's Earth Observatory.

2018年6月6日 · In March 2000, the largest iceberg ever recorded broke away from Antarctica’s Ross Ice Shelf. Now, in its 18th year drifting with the currents and being battered by the wind and sea, a piece of this original berg could be nearing the end of its voyage.

Iceberg B-15 broke from the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica in late March. Among the largest ever observed, the new iceberg is approximately 170 miles long x 25 miles wide. Its 4,250 square-mile area is nearly as large as the state of Connecticut.
