Antarctica is surrounded by icebergs. However, the finger-shaped chunk of ice that recently broke loose from the western side of the Ronne Ice Shelf — one of the world's most extensive ice platforms — is worthy of a mention. Measuring approximately 105 miles (170 km) long and 15 miles (25 km) wide, it boasts a surface area of 1,660 sq miles (4,300 sq km) and is currently the world's largest iceberg.

watermeloncube4년 이하This iceberg reminds me of a movie called "The Day After Tomorrow" that I borrowed from the library. There is a scene at the beginning. An ice shelf breaks off. The part broke off is the roughly size of Rhode Island.
minimal약 4년Wow! I never knew that this could be the world's largest iceberg! This is so fascinating! 🤩😄🥶🧊
angelachang약 4년yeah! it is suprising! icebergs thst are smaller can cause sea levels rising, but this is bigger than the others, but does not cause it!
lilly202약 4년this article is cool I didn't realize how long it could take an iceberg to melt, this is my favourite fact in the passage, Researchers say that periodic calving of icebergs like A-76 is a part of an ice shelf's normal life span and most likely not related to climate change. They speculate that the massive chunk will drift through the South Atlantic for several years before breaking into smaller pieces and melting.
bigbookworm약 4년OMGOSH!!!
totallynot약 4년Wow, humans really need to stop climate change.
magnetcarlson약 4년That's cool and all but we need to stop climate change. Imagine all the animals that might live there now have no home. #stopglobalwarming.
kirishima77약 4년There are no animals there. Animals can’t survive in Antarctica. Only a few bugs. It’s also likely not due to climate change.
wolfy_blue약 4년There are penguins in Antartica.- starlite_safire4년 이하Yeah animals can survive in Antarctica!
- bigbookworm약 4년YEAH!!
disneylover2약 4년🙏 I hope all animals like polor bears are safe and were not on that iceberg- wolfy_blue약 4년Polar bears don't live in Antartica.

- wolfy_blue약 4년Penguins can. They feed off of fish. There are actually many more animals in Antartica.
sweaterweather0약 4년Polar bears don't live in Antarctica 😕 😒
jarrycloud약 4년WOW! How long do you think it will take to melt? What year?
