You never see pictures of coffee-table size or dinner-plate size ones - they're always hulking great things.

Thanks, Jim - that must be quite a sight.

I was on an ice breaker in the Coast Guard. I've seen plenty of the smaller versions. As long as the iceberg is headed in to warm water it will continue to melt. It also breaks apart. It also rolls over. As the warm sea melts the under sea part of the berg it becomes smaller. Once it is slightly smaller than the portion above water, an imbalance occurs. The heavier top portion succumbs to gravity. Then the berg will flip over.

Jim I am sorry that you were in the Coast Guard, what did you do to be punished. You have the best answer I just could not resist the gig. You get my vote. Semper Fi.

The do melt, but the bigger they are, the slower they melt. So as they begin to melt they melt faster.
