According to the British Antarctic Survey:
"The Ross Ice Shelf is the largest ice shelf of Antarctica (an area of roughly 487,000 square kilometres ((188,000 sq mi)) and about 800 kilometres (500 mi) across: about the size of France)."
According to Wikipedia: "In some places, namely its southern areas, the ice shelf can be almost 750 m (2,450 ft) thick." Note that about 90% of the Ross Ice Shelf is below the water line.

The South Pole sits on Antarctica's ice sheet, which covers 98% of the continent. The Ross Ice Shelf may be the closest to the South Pole, even though it is securely attached to the ice sheet and its connecting boundary is imprecise.
