B-15 iceberg was the largest iceberg in recorded history. The wide reach 3100 km, making it larger than the island of Jamaica. Giant iceberg is due to fault Ross Ice Shelf in March 2000.
Then in 2003, iceberg B-15 was again split into several pieces, one of the largest is called B-15a drifting north, eventually crushed into the glacier in 2005, leaving a fault along the 8 km. This makes a big change in the map of Antarctica and demand must be revised (map).
Some washed up along the coast eventually foundered. In 2006, hurricanes in Alaska, causing the ocean waves that pass up to 13,500 km for 6 days to Antarctica, and separate the remaining fragments become more and more.
Nearly a decade passed, the parts of the iceberg was still not fully liquid, the biggest part still considered sebagaii B-15a, with the vast field reached 1700 km.
