Iceberg
|
- A chunk of fresh water ice "calved" from a glacier. icebergs are harder than pack ice.
- An insulated mountain of ice, whether on arctic lands or floating in the sea. some have been known to be aground in 120 fathoms water, and rise to the height of 150 feet above it. cook`s obtaining fresh water from floating icebergs was not a new discovery. the hudson`s bay ships had long made use of it; and in july, 1585, captain davis met with ice “which melted into very good fresh water.”
- [1] part of a glacier which has broken off and is floating freely at sea. it is defined a “large” if it rises at least 15 meters (50 feet) above the surface and is more than 120 meters (400 feet) long. many are much bigger, forming floating islands. [2] code-name for the 1945 invasion of okinawa.
