New! B-15A has split again, creating pieces B-15M, B-15N, and B-15P. Visit an image of the icebergs in their new location here.

The following images provide some of the data used to ascertain the movements of the Ross Sea icebergs. Bathymetry images depict the depth of the ocean, which aids in determining where icebergs can get "stuck" on the floor of the ocean.
