The record for the largest iceberg ever observed, A-76, which calved from Antarctica in 2021 and spanned over 4,300 square miles, would take thousands of years to fully thaw if it drifted into warmer waters, highlighting the immense scale of polar ice dynamics. This slow thawing process contributes to rising sea levels, affecting global coastlines.
