The largest of these, B-15A, was the worldâs largest free-floating objectâit was 122 km (76 miles) long, 27 km (17 miles) wide, and covered an area of 3,100 kmÂ² (1,200 mileÂ², or approximately the size of Luxembourg). In November 2003, after the separation from B-15J iceberg, B-15A drifted away from Ross Island on the open waters of the Ross Sea.
