According to its Wikipedia page: this honour belongs to B-15 which calved off the Ross Ice Shelf in March 2000. It measured ". . . around 295 kilometres (183 mi) long and 37 kilometres (23 mi) wide, with a surface area of 11,000 square kilometres (4,200 sq mi) -- larger than the whole island of Jamaica." Estimates are based on satellite images of the event.

Ten years later, parts of this iceberg had not melted.
