It's huge - one of the biggest icebergs of all time - but n 1956 there was an even bigger one.

According to the article:

In 1956, it was reported that a US Navy icebreaker had encountered an object of roughly 32,000 sq km. That is bigger than Belgium. Unfortunately, there were no satellites at the time to follow up and verify the observation.

Someone is going to go and plant a flag on that and declare themselves Ruler of Snowland.

How big is this iceberg in terms of the area of Wales?
