An iceberg is a large piece of ice from freshwater that has broken off from a snow-formed glacier or ice shelf and is floating in open water.
Icebergs may be hundreds of thousands of years old
Where a glacier or ice shelf meets the sea, humongous chunks of ice break off from the face of the glacier; this is known as "calving” and this is how many icebergs are "born."
TriggerPit (link on top of page) has many amazing and beautiful iceberg images. Below are a selection.
Perito Moreno is the most beautiful, interesting and, consequently, the most visited glacier in Argentina. Another gorgeous place where icebergs are "born".
The photographer notes, "Two transient orcas make their way through an Alaskan fjord."
