NASA has posted images of a 94 kilometers (58 miles) by 39 kilometers (24 miles) in size B-09B Iceberg colliding with Mertz Glacier in Eastern Antarctica.

NASA said the massive iceberg collided with the glacier tongue on February 12 or 13, breaking it away from the rest of the glacier. The former glacier tongue formed a new iceberg from the Mertz Glacier and it is 78 kilometers (48 miles) long by 39 kilometers (24 miles) wide and has a mass of 700-800 billion tons. NASA
