B-15 was the largest iceberg ever recorded. The large chunk broke off of Antarctica and was roughly the size of Jamaica.
There is no maximum size that icebergs can have; they will be as big as gravity, temperature and 'local' factors will allow.The largest iceberg that has so far been documented, was an Antarctic iceberg that measured 335 x 97 kilometers (208 x 60 miles) which is larger than the country of Belgium.
The Cultural Iceberg (English) When we see an iceberg, the portion which is visible above water.
Between 10 to 20 percent of an iceberg mass is above water. An iceberg is a massive piece of floating ice. Usually, approximately 80 to 90 percent of an iceberg is below sea level. A very large iceberg can be over 230 feet in height and over 738 feet in width.
A large detached piece of a glacier is called an iceberg. The process by which this happens is called calving.There isn't really a term for a detached piece of an iceberg. See related question.
The worlds largest iceberg would be: Iceberg B-15. It is located at Antarctica.
Since the icecaps are always changing, the largest iceberg in the world is also changing. The largest iceberg is most likely located in the Arctic Circle, which have large icecaps also.

Icebergs are at their largest points when they break off of a glacier. Usually more than 92% of the iceberg's mass is underwater. For example, that was the problem with the Titanic. The captain thought it was just a puny iceberg, but under it was the rest of the MASSIVE iceberg. The iceberg punctured the belly of the boat, and water got into it, and when I saw water I mean A LOT of water. So that caused it to sink. So in conclusion icebergs are their largest when they break off of a glacier. For more information, go to www.minecraft.com/store -Courtesy of Sidney K.
According to Wikipedia, the largest iceberg is the B-15. It apparently has the same surface area of the island Jamaica. Pieces of this iceberg have been floating around Ross Sea (it's located south of West Antarctica. A few other very large icebergs include A-38, B-15A (a piece of B-15), and C-19.
The largest iceberg ever recorded was an Antarctic tabular (flat-topped) iceberg of over 31,000 square kilometres (12,000 sq mi) It measured [335 by 97 kilometres (208 by 60 mi) and was sighted in the South Pacific Ocean, by the USS Glacier on November 12, 1956. This iceberg was larger than the country of Belgium.
