Comparison of iceberg and ship, according to Bigg and Wilton's estimate of the iceberg. The appearance of the iceberg must remain speculative. Bigg and Wilton describe the Titanic iceberg, based on witness testimony, as 50 to 100 feet (15 to 30 m) high and 400 feet (120 m) long. They assume that only 16.7 per cent of a weathered iceberg is ...
Calving of A-76 and size comparison with the island Mallorca. In mid-May 2021, A-76 was, before it broke into three, [1] the world's largest floating iceberg, calved from the Filchner–Ronne Ice Shelf in Antarctica. [2] [3] [4] The new iceberg, effectively a piece of floating ice shelf, detached from the western side of the ice shelf.
This is a list of icebergs by total area. In 1956, an iceberg in the Antarctic was reported to be an estimated 333 kilometres (207 mi) long and 100 kilometres (62 mi) wide. Recorded before the era of satellite photography, the 1956 iceberg's estimated dimensions are less reliable.
A23a is a large tabular iceberg which calved from the Filchner–Ronne Ice Shelf in 1986. It was stuck on the sea bed for many years but then started moving in 2020. As of February 2024, its area is about 3,900 square kilometres (1,500 sq mi), which makes it the current largest iceberg in the world. [2] [3]

An iceberg in the Arctic Ocean. An iceberg is a piece of fresh water ice more than 15 meters (16 yards) long [1] that has broken off a glacier or an ice shelf and is floating freely in open water. [2] [3] Smaller chunks of floating glacially derived ice are called "growlers" or "bergy bits".
