How are Iceburgs

Created?

Iceburgs, the worlds many icy wonders. These cold, white pieces of mountain don't just fall from the sky, they are created like any other living thing. Sometimes, they break off of a mountain but most of the time, they are created when they move along land in the Arctic and when it touches water, it becomes an Ice Shelf. When a large bit of the ice shelf breaks off, an iceburg is fully made.
