The bedrock topography of Antarctica, critical to understand dynamic motion of the continental ice sheets. [1]The Antarctic ice sheet covers an area of almost 14 million square kilometres (5.4 million square miles) and contains 26.5 million cubic kilometres (6,400,000 cubic miles) of ice. [6]
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 January 2025, its area is about 3,500 square kilometres (1,400 sq mi), which makes it the current largest iceberg in the world.
<p>Chances are you make it through most days without sparing a thought for Antarctica. At just over 5.4 million square miles, it's a massive chunk of land that is nearly twice the size of ...

This is a list of Antarctic ice shelves. An image of Antarctica differentiating its landmass (dark grey) from its ice shelves (minimum extent, light grey, and maximum extent, white) Edge of Ekstrom Ice Shelf. Ice shelves are attached to a large portion of the Antarctic coastline.
A fast moving crack in an ice shelf in Antarctica could create one of the largest icebergs ever recorded. Antarctic ice shelf crack grows 11 miles and will create one of the largest icebergs ever ...
A large section of the Larsen C shelf broke away in July 2017 to form an iceberg known as A-68. [6] The ice shelf originally covered an area of 85,000 square kilometres (33,000 sq mi), but following the disintegration in the north and the calving of iceberg A-68, it now covers an area of 67,000 square kilometres (26,000 sq mi).
