Not keeping up

[edit]

Two more to add this spring (or Antarctic autumn) 2021: A-23A, 3880 km² (variously reported as January 2021, or December 2020), promptly eclipsed by A-76, 4320 km² (May 14) ...Digging into A-23A, Guinness World Records says it was calved in 1986, but has been grounded for most of the subsequent time. Perhaps this makes it ineligible for some lists? Despite being ignored (including by this Wiki list!!) for decades, when A-68 broke near South Georgia, it was promoted by commentators to the #1 size spot in December 2020.
