Icebergs
http://uwamrc.ssec.wisc.edu/amrc/iceberg.html
Latest information from the Antarctic Meteorological Research Center. Great polar orbiting satellite views of the B15 Iceberg which broke off the Ross Ice Shelf in March 2000 and the C16 iceberg. The B15berg was approximately 295 km long by 37 km wide (170 miles by 25 miles). Its 4,250 square-mile area was nearly as large as the state of Connecticut. The berg has since broken into two. Was this the largest berg ever? Find out here!
