Iceberg naming conventions
This from the BBC:
′• Icebergs are blocks of ice that cover at least 500 sq m
• Any smaller and they are called "growlers" or "bergy bits"
• The US National Ice Center runs the naming system for bergs
• It divides Antarctica into quadrants - A,B, C and D
• Larsen icebergs get an "A" designation when they calve
• They also get the next number in the sequence of sightings
