I really hate it when journalists don’t answer basic questions.

They say something is big, but they don’t say how big it is.
They say it’s tall, but they don’t quantify as to how tall it is.

Is it too much to answer the questions they pose?

Basic answers in the article. But you DO have to read it!

The fissure in the Pine Island Glacier ice shelf marks the beginning stages of the birth of a 350-square-mile (900 square kilometers) iceberg, part of a natural process known as calving.

The image was snapped on Nov. 13, 2011, when the rift was roughly 19 miles (30 km) long, 260 feet (80 meters) wide for most of its length, and 195 feet (60 m) deep. When researchers first spotted the crack in mid-October, it was roughly 18 miles (28 km) long.

I think that tells us how big it is.
