In March 2006, a team of researchers from the United States and Argentina visited an iceberg near the Antarctic Peninsula in order to gain a better understanding of how ice melts and disintegrates when it encounters warmer areas.

Scientists rely on satellites to piece together the life stories of icebergs from Antarctica, some of which have been adrift for decades.
In January 2015, a new iceberg broke off from an ice shelf in East Antarctica that had otherwise been quiet for decades.
The huge Antarctic iceberg has floated into warmer waters, but it is still mostly intact.
