Back in December 2024, which is 38 years after it broke off of Antarctica, it covered 1,400 square miles. Now it's only half that size and they aren't expecting it to last much longer.
Has anyone been there? Google knows:
When the iceberg calved from Antarctica's Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf in 1986, it broke off with a Soviet research station, Druzhnaya 1, still on it.
