We just learned about the Ross Ice Shelf.
Another part of Antarctica is the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf.
This shelf is about 430,000 square kilometers, which is bigger than the state of California.
It is about 600 meters deep, and below the shelf the water goes down another 1,400 meters.
In 1998 an iceberg named A38 split off from the ice shelf that was over 22,000 square kilometers.
