Iceberg A-68

Iceberg A-68 was a giant tabular iceberg adrift in the South Atlantic, having calved from Antarctica's Larsen C ice shelf in July 2017. By 16 April 2021 no significant fragments remained. With a surface area of 5,800 square kilometres (2200 sq. mi.), twice the size of Luxembourg and larger than Delaware, it was one of the largest recorded icebergs, the largest being B-15 which measured 11,000 square kilometres (4250 sq. mi.) before breaking up. The calving of A-68 reduced the overall size of the Larsen C shelf by 12 percent.
