What is the biggest iceburg?

This is s difficult one to answer, because icebergs melt. An iceberg is basically a large chunk of ice that breaks free from the Antarctic or Arctic and floats away on the water. The biggest iceberg recorded in modern times was called "Iceberg B-15". It was 295 km long and 37km wide. It broke free from what we call the "Ross ice Shelf" in the Antarctic. Today it is much smaller due to melting. There is no doubt that historically there was a much bigger iceberg, maybe sometime during the ice ages, but we weren't there to measure it.
