	Iceberg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The interior temperature of icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador is in the range of −15 to −20°C. Ninety-three percent of the world's mass of icebergs is found surrounding the Antarctic.
		Icebergs are monitored worldwide by the U.S. National Ice Center (NIC), established in 1995, which produces analyses and forecasts of Arctic, Antarctic, Great Lakes, and Chesapeake Bay ice conditions.
		Iceberg B15, which calved from the Ross Ice Shelf in 2000 and initially had an area of 11 000 km², was the largest iceberg ever recorded.

	Iceberg - MSN Encarta
		Iceberg, mass of freshwater ice that is calved, or broken off, from a glacier or an ice shelf (a huge slab of permanent ice that floats on water near the edges of polar land masses) and that floats in the ocean or in a lake.
		Icebergs were known to early mariners and explorers and to sealers and whalers who hunted their prey in Arctic and Antarctic waters.
		The skylines of castellated icebergs resemble the battlements on a castle.

	Icebergs
		As much as 85% of an iceberg's bulk is underwater, and because of the strong currents that can push on the underside of it, it's not uncommon to see an iceberg moving against a strong wind.
		The iceberg that Titanic collided with on that bitterly-cold April night in 1912 was reported in the newspapers as being anywhere between 50-100 feet high, and anything between 200-400 feet in length.
		Icebergs were tracked as they entered the hazardous areas, and there was wider reporting of ice by all shipping at this time too.

		iceberg, mass of ice that has become detached, or calved, from the edge of an ice sheet or glacier and is floating on the ocean.
		Icebergs differ from other ocean ices: sea ice is formed directly from the freezing of ocean water; pack ice is tightly packed fragments of sea ice; ice floes are small, floating ice fragments that separate from pack ice; and fast ice is ice attached to a shore.
		Greenland is the source of most of the icebergs in the N Atlantic, where the iceberg season lasts roughly from February to October.

	Icebergs in the Northern Hemisphere: FAQ
		Other sources of icebergs are the East Greenland glaciers, which produce about half the amount of icebergs as the West Greenland glaciers, but account for only 10% of the icebergs reaching the Grand Banks.
		Icebergs are also commonly found around the ice shelves of Antarctica and a very small number of icebergs calve into the ocean in Alaska and in Siberia or south of Franz Joseph Land in the Barents Sea.
		The exact size of the iceberg will probably never be known, but according to early newspaper reports the height and length of the iceberg was approximated at 50 to 100 feet high and 200 to 400 feet long.

		Local bathymetry charts suggested the iceberg had become anchored at a point near the middle of its coastward (or western) side to a shallow section of seabed.
		Together they will provide insight into whether such iceberg calving occurrences are becoming more common, as well as improving our understanding of the relationship between the Earth's ice cover and the global climate.

	NASA - Antarctic Iceberg Gets Stuck Sea ice cracks up all around
		In early January 2005, it appeared that the B-15A iceberg was on a collision course with the Drygalski Ice Tongue, the floating portion of a glacier flowing off the Scott Coast of Antarctica and into the Ross Sea.
		The ice tongue and the iceberg have created something of a corral for the seasonal sea ice, which by this point in the season often would have already broken up and drifted away into the Ross Sea.
		The parent iceberg of B-15A calved off the Ross Ice Shelf in 2000, and pieces of the berg have been influencing the circulation patterns in the region for several years.

		The 160 kilometre long iceberg, known as B15A, is travelling toward the ice tongue of the Drygalski glacier at the rate of 1.5 kilometres a day.
		If the iceberg and ice tongue remain stationary they will create a massive ice dam between nesting penguins and their food source.

	Huge iceberg to ram glacier - LiveScience - MSNBC.com
		A 100-mile-long iceberg is steaming towards a floating glacier near the McMurdo Research Station in Antarctica.
		The iceberg blockade, however, may threaten the local penguin population, which must now swim farther to reach open waters where their food is. New Zealand researchers have expressed a concern that penguin chicks may starve if their parents cannot bring back enough food.
		The iceberg B-15A might not be traveling fast enough to rip out the glacier’s tongue, however. The iceberg had been moving about one mile a day, but it has slowed down recently. Still, there may be more than one ice-shattering crash.
