ICEBERG

An iceberg is the large piece of freshwater ice that has broken off a glacier and is floating freely in open water. Icebergs come in all shapes and sizes. The term iceberg refers to chunks of  ice larger then 5 meters across. Smaller icebergs known as bergy bits.

The shape of the underwater portion of  iceberg can be difficult to judge by looking at the portion above the surface.
