De acuerdo con el medio de comunicación RT Noticias , el iceberg cuenta con una superficie de 500 kilómetros cuadrados, lo que es equivalente al tamaño de la ciudad estadounidense Chicago.

El glaciólogo de la universidad de Swansea (Reino Unido) Adrian Luckman, compartió un tuit en que califica este suceso como algo ¨inminente¨, añadiendo que ¨probablemente se llevará consigo una superficie mucho mayor de hielo muy antiguo¨.

La espacio de hielo Larsen D, abarca la costa este de la península Antártica sobre el mar de Weddell, ubicada al sur de la plataforma Larsen C, lugar donde en el año 2017 se desprendió otro iceberg con un tamaño dos veces mayor a Luxemburgo, superando un peso de un billón de toneladas.

Las imágenes que se publicaron fueron gracias a los satélites Sentinel-1 de Programa Copérnico de la Agencia Espacial Europea, esto se realiza a través de microondas que generan imágenes capaces de permitirle a los investigadores descubrir fisuras en el hielo.
