Where icebergs come from

The giant tabular icebergs around Antarctica break off the floating ice shelves at the edge of the ice sheet, a natural part of the shelves’ life cycle. Ocean currents carry them around the continent for years as they slowly melt and break apart; the National Ice Center tracks every one at least 10 nautical miles long.

Did you know?

The biggest on record. Iceberg B-15, which broke off Antarctica in 2000, was about 11,000 km², roughly the size of Jamaica.

Data: U.S. National Ice Center via NASA EONET.
