At almost 4,000 sq km (1,500 square miles), the Antarctic iceberg called A23a is roughly three times the size of New York City.

The iceberg calved off West Antarctica's Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf in 1986 and has largely been stranded after its base became stuck on the floor of the Weddell Sea.

British scientists on the icebreaking research vessel the RRS Sir David Attenborough have now been able able to inspect the iceberg in person.

It was 'amazing to see this huge berg in person,' said Dr Andrew Meijers, the chief scientist on the ship, 'it stretches as far as the eye can see'.
