Summary[edit]

Description
English: On March 6, 2015 the National Ice Center (NIC) announced the discovery of an iceberg in the Amundsen Sea. Estimated at approximately 17 mi (27.4 km) long by 6 mi (10 km) wide, the new iceberg was large enough to merit both a name and tracking by the NIC. Dubbed B-34, the iceberg most likely calved from the Getz Ice Shelf.

On March 6, B-34 was located at 74�12� South, 129�31� West. By April 17 the iceberg had drifted slightly, and was located at 73�51' South, 131�08'West.
