[[File:Iceberg A-38.jpg|thumb|The [[Ice calving|calving]] of Iceberg A-38 off [[Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf]]]][[Iceberg B15]] calved from the [[Ross Ice Shelf]] in 2000 and initially had an area of {{convert|11000|km2|mi2}}. It broke apart in November 2002. The largest remaining piece of it, [[Iceberg B-15A]], with an area of {{convert|3000|km2|mi2}}, was still the largest iceberg on Earth until it ran aground and split into several pieces October 27, 2005, an event that was observed by seismographs both on the iceberg and across Antarctica.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Martin|first1=Seelye|last2=Drucker|first2=Robert|last3=Aster|first3=Richard|last4=Davey|first4=Fred|last5=Okal|first5=Emile|last6=Scambos|first6=Ted|last7=MacAyeal|first7=Douglas|year=2010|title=Kinematic and seismic analysis of giant tabular iceberg breakup at Cape Adare, Antarctica|journal=Journal of Geophysical Research|volume=115|issue=B6|pages=B06311|bibcode=2010JGRB..115.6311M|doi=10.1029/2009JB006700|doi-access=|s2cid=16420188}}</ref> It has been hypothesized that this breakup may also have been abetted by ocean swell generated by an [[Alaska]]n storm 6 days earlier and {{convert|13500|km|mi}} away.<ref>{{cite web|title=Alaskan storm cracks giant iceberg to pieces in faraway Antarctica|url=http://www.physorg.com/news79026480.html}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last1=MacAyeal|first1=Douglas R|last2=Okal|first2=Emile A|last3=Aster|first3=Richard C|last4=Bassis|first4=Jeremy N|last5=Brunt|first5=Kelly M|last6=Cathles|first6=L.
