A colossal chunk of ice has broken away from the frozen edge of Antarctica becoming the largest floating iceberg in the world, according to the European Space Agency.
The newly carved berg is larger than the Spanish island of Majorca and almost three times the size of London.
Recent satellite images spotted the enormous frozen oblong, designated A-76 by scientists, captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission.
Its surface area spans 1,668 square miles and measures 106 miles long by 15 miles wide.
