Bookmark or Share- Glacier Power: What is Glacial Calving? | NASA EarthdataThe iceberg ripped a 90 meter hole (approximately the size of a football field) in the ship, causing it to sink. More than 1,500 people died in the accident. Icebergs calved from tidewater glaciers are still a danger today. An iceberg over 80 kilometers long and 40 kilometers wide recently broke off from the Larsen Sea Shelf in Antarctica.
- Swirling Iceberg A76A in the Drake Passage | NASA EarthdataA76A was part of the A76 iceberg that calved from the Ronne Ice Shelf in Antarctica in May 2021. These images were acquired by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite ( VIIRS ), aboard the joint NASA/NOAA Suomi National Polar orbiting Partnership ( Suomi NPP ) satellite.
- Iceberg A76A calves from the Ronne Ice Shelf, AntarcticaThe A76 iceberg was initially approximately 4320 square km and has now broken into three icebergs, A76A, A76B and A76C. A76A is approximately 3500 square km, A76B is 480 square km, and A76C is 360 square km.

- Disintegration of the Ninnis Glacier Tongue | NASA EarthdataThe resultant iceberg (sections A and B) has an area of approximately 900 square kilometers (560 square miles). NOTE: Purple dots indicate the area where the iceberg broke away from the glacier. According to Massom, large-scale breakouts of entire floating glacier tongues are rare.
