Icebergs are merely frozen water. It depends upon the temperature and ofcourse, amount and density of water. Iceberg B-15 is one of the world's largest recorded icebergs. It measured around 295 km long and 37 km wide (183-23 mi), with a surface area of 11,000 km² (4,250 mi²) - larger than the island of Jamaica. The mass was estimated around three billion tonnes. After almost a decade, parts of B-15 still have not melted.
