Back in 2000, an enormous iceberg broke off the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica. It was the size of Connecticut and was called B-15. All these years later, the iceberg is still around, although it has been losing pieces ever since it broke off. Now, a big crack along the length of the remaining ice is likely to mean the demise of this monster. You can read more about B-15, where it has gone over the last 17 years, and what is likely to happen next at EarthSky here.
