iceberg
An iceberg is a large piece of freshwater ice that has broken off a glacier or an ice shelf and is floating freely in open water.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Google )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Common Misconceptions about Icebergs and Glaciers )〕 It may subsequently become frozen into pack ice (one form of sea ice). As it drifts into shallower waters, it may come into contact with the seabed, a process referred to as seabed gouging by ice.
==Etymology==
The word "iceberg" is a partial loan translation from Dutch ''ijsberg'', literally meaning '' ice mountain'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=iceberg&searchmode=none )〕 cognate to Danish ''isbjerg'', German ''Eisberg'', Low Saxon ''Iesbarg'' and Swedish ''isberg''.
