Ice-shelf
An ice shelf is large piece of ice floe (floating ice) attached to the coast and formed by the advance of a glacier into the sea. The largest ice shelf is the Ross ice shelf (or barrier) in Antarctica, of which the surface area is around 487,000 km2 (compared with the 676,600 km2 of Texas or 209331 km2 of Great Britain).
