HOW BIG IS AN ICEBERG?
Most of the iceberg is hidden under the surface of the water.
The iceberg in the picture is maybe 900 metres high. What sticks out of the water is only 100 metres.
Put an icecube in a glass of water. Does it go to the bottom or does it float?
Put a mark on the water level and let the ice cube melt. Does the water level fall or rise or is it unchanged?
When the iceberg floats through the Icefjord it melts from below. It changes form and loses the balance.
Why can an iceberg turn around suddenly?
What might happen if you lost your balance?
- What do you see in the film?
The largest Greenlandic icebergs take three to four years to melt. Before they melt they drift far into the ocean.
