World’s largest iceberg splits in two after storm

“The world’s largest iceberg has split in two after being pummelled by a powerful storm, it was reported.


B15, an 11,000-square-kilometre (4,400-square-mile) monster the size of Jamaica, was one of the biggest icebergs ever seen until it broke up last month, said the Antarctic Sun newspaper Tuesday.

The title of world’s largest iceberg now passes to C19A, near a French Antarctic base, which at 5,659 square kilometres (2,264 square miles) is about the size of Brunei.” —Yahoo!
