Scraped from the US National Ice Center (USNIC) archive which provides the data as weekly csv files for download in their webinterface. The iceberg tracking is based on remote-sensing imagery, from a min. size of ~1.85 sqkm.
The iceberg naming convention depends on the Antarctic quadrant in which they were originally sighted (A: 0-90W, B: 90W-180, C: 180-90E, D: 90E-0). The number is the sequential number of iceberg sightings in that quadrant (E.g. A23). Letter suffixes indicate iceberg calvings (E.g. A23A).
