iceberg
This iceberg batik shows
that most of the ice is
below the surface. As the
world's ice sheets and
mountain glaciers melt,
floating icebergs calved
from the noses of the
glaciers that extend into
the sea will become
more common. To
determine the net
contribution of water to
the sea from melting and
calving glaciers, it is
necessary to know the
contribution of new
snow added to the
interior each winter.
