The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Thursday that the berg, named A-38, broke off the Ronne Ice Shelf and is floating adjacent to the shelf. This iceberg is 92 miles (148 km) long and about 30 miles (48 km) wide with an area of 2,751 square miles (7,125 sq. km). The state of Delaware has an area of 2,044 square miles (5,294 sq. km). This new iceberg was sighted by Mary Keller, a scientist at the National Ice Center in Suitland, Maryland, using data from a satellite.
