Researchers finally getting an up-close view of the mammoth iceberg that sheared off an Antarctica ice shelf earlier this year aren't having to look far — the 1-trillion ton chunk of ice hasn't moved much.

The massive iceberg the size of Delaware has only moved about 15 miles at its southern edge, while its northern edge remains much closer to the Larsen C ice shelf it departed in July.
