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 break away of iceberg A-17 [ failed verification ( See discussion.
