Iceberg C-19

After that the Ross Ice Shelf returned to the size it was in 1911, when it was mapped by Robert F. Scott’s party.

[2] In summer 2003 C-19 moved northward very rapidly, passed Cape Adare,[2] and broke in two pieces: C-19A and C-19B.

In September 2005, after a two-year stay along the coast of Victoria Land (west of French station Dumont d'Urville) C-19A started drifting northward.

In March 2006 its location was in the Pacific Ocean, 200 km west of Balleny Islands.

[citation needed] In 2008, C-19A was renamed Melting Bob by Max Dolan as a result of a contest sponsored by the Hay Festival and the Scott Polar Research Institute.
