The top image shows Iceberg B-15A on October 27, 2005; the bottom image shows the iceberg on November 4, 2005, after breaking into large shards. Researchers believe the iceberg fragmented after low swells generated off Alaska rocked the iceberg against the Antarctic coast.

Iceberg A23A calved from East Antarctica's Filchner–Ronne Ice Shelf in 1986. Forty years later, it is finally disappearing, and rapidly. This true-color corrected reflectance image captured on Jan. 13, 2026, by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument aboard the Aqua platform shows the iceberg melting, turning blue, and breaking apart in the South Atlantic between ...

The largest recorded iceberg, Iceberg B-15, rivaled Connecticut in size when it calved from Antarctica’s Ross Ice Shelf in March 2000. Giant chunks eventually wandered into the Southern Ocean. Twelve years later it was gone. Ice shelves secure glaciers in place. Both birth icebergs as a natural process, much like shedding dead skin cells, but ice shelf calving does not add to sea level rise ...

The Global Land Ice Measurements from Space (GLIMS) Glacier Database provides timely data on more than 200,000 glaciers around the world.

Iceberg A23A calved from East Antarctica's Filchner–Ronne Ice Shelf in 1986 and had been stuck in the Weddell Sea off the coast of West Antarctica until it started moving again in 2020.

Iceberg A23A was captured in this false-color corrected reflectance (Bands 7-2-1) image from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard the Aqua platform on March 4, 2025. The iceberg, the big blue object southwest of the island, has run aground near South Georgia Island in Antarctica .

When Hurricane Ian swept through Florida, the impact was catastrophic. Roads, homes, schools, and other buildings were severely damaged or destroyed in the storm. To aid search and recovery efforts, University of Connecticut researchers from the Department of Natural Resources and the Environment Global Environmental Remote Sensing (GERS) Laboratory created the first high-resolution land ...

NASA's Multispectral Imager aboard the European Space Agency Sentinel-2 series of satellites supports Copernicus Land Monitoring studies.

NASA's true-color corrected reflectance image of Iceberg A23A and iceberg A23F was captured on August 17, 2025, from the MODIS instrument aboard the Aqua satellite.

NASA's true-color corrected reflectance image of a very large iceberg A23A moving toward South Georgia Island in Antarctica was captured by the MODIS instrument aboard the Terra satellite.
