Definition of iceberg in English English dictionary: A huge mass of ocean-floating ice which has broken off a glacier or ice shelf

Floating mass of ice that has broken from the seaward end of a glacier or a polar ice sheet. Icebergs are typically found in open seas, especially around Greenland and Antarctica. They form mostly during each hemisphere's spring and summer, when warmer weather increases the rate of calving (separation) of icebergs at the boundaries of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets and smaller outlying glaciers. In the Northern Hemisphere, about 10,000 icebergs are produced each year from the Greenland glaciers, and an average of 375 flow into the North Atlantic shipping lanes, where they are a hazard to navigation, especially because only about 10% of an iceberg is exposed above the surface of the sea; A massive piece of ice greatly varying shape which has broken away from a glacier; A mass of ice found floating in the ocean or a lake Often icebergs form when ice calves from land-based glaciers into the water body Icebergs can be dangerous to shipping in high and mid-latitude regions of the ocean because 90 percent of their mass lies below the ocean surface; A massive piece of glacier ice that has broken (calved) from the front of the glacier into a body of water; A large mass of ice, generally floating in the ocean; A huge floating chunk of ice broken away from a glacier; a large mass of ice floating at sea; usually broken off of a polar glacier; An iceberg is a large chunk of ice that has broken off an ice shelf or glacier; lettuce with crisp tightly packed light-green leaves in a firm head; "iceberg is still the most popular lettuce"; Large floating chunks of ice formed by the breaking off, i e calving of ice sheets at their seaward edges; A large piece of floating ice that has broken off of a glacier The greater part of its mass is below sea level
