What is an iceberg?
Icebergs are the name given to blocks of ice that have broken off from the huge glaciers that cover the continents. They come in different shapes and sizes. The size of an iceberg usually depends on where it was formed. Icebergs formed at the North Pole (Arctic) are much smaller than those formed at the South Pole (Antarctica). About 90% of icebergs are underwater and only a small part of them is visible on the surface. The size of icebergs is variable, because during snowfalls they become larger. But recently this has rarely happened, because our planet has been experiencing an increase in air temperature. Usually, icebergs gradually melt and become smaller, but this does not mean that they become less dangerous.
