Not exactly catering to the stiff upper lip and powered by Fake News, the USA is famous for being really sweet guys who just happen to want to kill everybody. And they really do know how to play the game.
The trick is to be xenophobic enough to do the research in the first place:

A list of exceptional Icebergs, Wikipedia
Iceberg B-15, 11,000, 295, 37, 2000 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceberg_B-15
295 kilometres (183 mi) long and 37 kilometres (23 mi) wide, with a surface area of 11,000 square kilometres (4,200 sq mi)—larger than the whole island of Jamaica. Calved from the Ross Ice Shelf of Antarctica in March 2000, Iceberg B-15 broke up into smaller icebergs, the largest of which was named Iceberg B-15A
Iceberg B-9, 5,390, 1987, 20 February 2010 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceberg_B-9
Calved in 1987.[1] The iceberg measured 154 kilometres (96 mi) long and 35 kilometres (22 mi) wide with a total area of 5,390 square kilometres (2,080 sq mi).[1] It is one of the longest icebergs ever recorded.[1] The calving took place immediately east of the calving site of Iceberg B-15 and carried away Little America V.
Iceberg B-17B, 140, 1999, 11 December, 2009. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceberg_B-17B
Twice the size of Manhattan, that floated in the Southern Ocean approximately 1,700 kilometres (1,100 mi) off the coast of Western Australia. B-17B measured approximately 140 square kilometres (54 sq mi) and calved off the Ross Ice Shelf in 1999.
Iceberg C-19, 5,500, 2002 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceberg_C-19
Calved from the Ross Ice Shelf on May 2002 on a fissure scientists had been watching since the 1980s. After that the Ross Ice Shelf returned to the size it was in 1911. It was the second-largest iceberg to calve in the region (after B-15). It had a surface area larger than 5500 km².
During 2002 C-19 prevented sea ice from moving out of the southwestern Ross Sea region, resulting in unusually high sea ice level, provoking a huge reduction in phytoplankton based food chain.
Iceberg D-16, 310, 2006 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceberg_D-16
Iceberg D-16 approximately 8 miles wide and 15 miles long (120 square miles, the size of a city) Discovered on March 26, 2006 by the National Ice Center using satellite imagery. Calved off the Fimbul Ice Shelf, located along the northwestern section of Queen Maud Land in the eastern Weddell Sea, Antarctica
Petermann Glacier, Petermann Ice Island (2010), 260, 2010. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petermann_Glacier
Petermann Glacier North-West Greenland to the east of Nares Strait, connects the Greenland ice sheet to the Arctic Ocean at 81 degrees North.
Iceberg A-38, 6, 900, 144, 48. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceberg_A-38
The A-38 split from the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf in Antarctica in 1998, more than 144 km long and 48 km wide. Part of the massive A-38 iceberg, which broke from the Ronne Ice Shelf, Antarctica 22 October, 1998, A-38B started to break off the original. The pieces drifted about 1,500 nautical miles (2,800 km) north to around South Georgia Island in the South Atlantic. On April 12, 2004, A-38B iceberg was 25 nautical miles (46 km) long. A-38B had broken in half (MODIS on 15 April.) 17-18 April the eastern half of the iceberg had moved quickly north and turned west. The western half seemed to stay in place. Another section A-39D, was covered in melt-water ponds as it drifted past South Georgia Island in late January 2004,

Iceberg B-15A, 3,100, 2003. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceberg_B-15
B-15 was the world's largest recorded iceberg. 295 kilometres (183 mi) long and 37 kilometres (23 mi) wide, 11,000 square kilometres (4,200 sq mi)—larger than the whole island of Jamaica. Calved from the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica in March 2000, B-15 broke up, the largest was B-15A. In 2003, B-15A drifted from Ross Island into the Ross Sea breaking up in October 2005.
Iceberg B31, 660, 2013. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceberg_B31
First observed by MODIS, formed in November 2013 from the Pine Island Glacier 20 by 12 miles and 500 m high, the fastest melting glacier in Antarctica, responsible for about 25% of Antarctica's ice loss.
Hidden in winter, B31 headed into international shipping lanes.
