Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Ross Ice Shelf is the world's largest ice shelf, covering an area of about 487,000 square kilometers in Antarctica. The Larsen Ice Shelf, while also located in Antarctica, is much smaller in comparison. The Hawaiian, Greenland, and Juneau Ice Shelves do not exist as they are not located in areas with cold enough temperatures for ice to form.
