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.
[5] The iceberg is about 170 km (110 mi) long and 25 km (16 mi) wide, and is described as being shaped like a "giant ironing board", and roughly the size of Cornwall.
The new iceberg was first spotted by Keith Makinson, a polar oceanographer with the British Antarctic Survey in May 2021.
