"A-76", is 109 miles (175km) long and 16 miles (25km) wide, making it larger than the Spanish island of Majorca and surpassing the now second-largest iceberg, which is 3,380sq km.
British Antarctic Survey first spotted the iceberg in the Weddell Sea after it had sheared from the Ronne Ice Shelf.
Details were confirmed by the US National Ice Center using imagery from Copernicus Sentinel-1, two polar-orbiting satellites that provide a year-round view of remote regions like Antarctica.
