Note: News media with questions about the iceberg itself should direct their questions to Matthew Lazzara, (608) 262-0436, mattl@ssec.wisc.edu.The most recent images of the iceberg can be found on the Antarctic Meteorology Research Center's Web site
Caption: A massive iceberg, perhaps the largest on record, has broken free from the Antarctic's Ross Ice Shelf. This image, taken from 700 kilometers in space by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's NOAA-12 polar-orbiting satellite, shows the iceberg's margins as it breaks free
from the Ross marine ice shelf. The iceberg, measuring 295 kilometers in
length and 37 kilometers wide, encompasses an area of about 11,000 square
kilometers, roughly twice the size of Delaware.
