According to Wikipedia, an iceberg is large piece of ice that's broken off from a glacier or ice shelf, while a glacier is a "large, slow moving river of ice".

In other words, an iceberg is smaller than a glacier (because it used to be a small chunk of a glacier).

An iceberg is kind of a chip off the old block (glacier).

Glaciers form on land where more snow falls than will melt. Over many years the snow compacts into ice. Glaciers often form in high mountain ranges where there are year-round snow caps. This kind of glacier is called a valley glacier. Continental ice sheets are glaciers on plains. Antarctica is covered in a miles-thick glacier.

Glaciers can flow down slopes and eventually reach water. When a piece of the glacier falls off (called calving) into the water, we call it an iceberg.

An iceberg is something you put in a glacier of tea to cool it off.
