Icebergs are comprised of pure fresh water. There may be some dust embedded in the ice and salt water may be on the surface but it does not penetrate the ice. Iceberg ice is quite safe to consume.
In Newfoundland, iceberg water is bottled

It would not be salty. In fact, icebergs can be a good source of water for communities that are in a drought. Of course, the iceberg would have to be towed to where the community is (on the coast) so it would be expensive, but it would work.

If it came from a glacier, it would not be salty. If you licked the part floating in the water, it would be salty.

When water freezes, any salts dissolved in the water are left behind in the water. Ice is pure water; you would not taste any salt if you lick an iceberg.

Non because it would have to be in salty water, just don't lick the ocean instead, you'll be fine :)

Icebergs are not generally frozen saltwater. Your average iceberg will contain 100% freshwater from a glacier.

Not salty. Salt water can't freeze. The salt has to precipitate out of it.

You would taste salt at the water line, but icebergs come from fresh water glaciers.

Non salty it's from accumulated snow.
