Iceberg B-15 is the biggest iceberg on record, measuring around 295 km long and 37 km wide (183-23 miles). It "calved" or broke off from the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica in March 2000.
It broke into several pieces and the largest part, B-15A, had several effects on the Antarctic environment:
- It prevented ocean currents and winds from helping with the 2004 summer sea ice breakup.
- It was an obstacle for the ships that bring supplies to the three research stations there each year.
- It blocked the return trip of parent Adelie penguins from the sea back to their chicks and probably caused a catastrophic decline in their numbers.
- Weddell seals and skuas may have met the same fate.
