Giant chunk of ice four times the size of Manhattan breaks off Greenland

You can read the article here. The reason why I'm writing about it though is not because I felt the urgency to report the news, but because it's a pet peeve of mine when articles mention the size of X compared to Y or Z but fail to actually provide an accurate map. So here is Greenland with the area of the iceberg in comparison. Total area = 350 km², thus almost 20 km in both length and width.

Also keep in mind that Greenland is MASSIVE, so pretty much everything looks small in comparison to Greenland. Countries with a surface area about four times that of Manhattan are Grenada and Malta.
