Iceberg

Iceberg

An iceberg is a large piece of freshwater ice that has broken off a glacier or an ice shelf and is floating freely in open water. It may subsequently become frozen into pack ice (one form of sea ice). As it drifts into shallower waters, it may come into contact with the seabed, a process referred to as seabed gouging by ice.The word "iceberg" is a partial loan translation from Dutch ijsberg, literally meaning ice mountain,[3] cognate to Danish Isbjerg, German Eisberg, Low Saxon Iesbarg .Because the density of pure ice is about 920 kg/m³, and that of sea water about 1025 kg/m³, typically only one-ninth of the volume of an iceberg is above water.
