No. Because in the artic ocean there are ice bergs. The titanic was sailing in the ocean and hit an ice berg.

How does an iceberg?
An iceberg floats because water is one of the few substances that is slightly denser as a liquid than as a solid. This is why ice cubes float in water icebergs are made from fresh water. Because of the dissolved salts in ocean water, it is denser than freshwater, adding bouyancy to the icebergs. Most icebergs actually contain a lot of air. Far from being the solid blocks of ice many people imagine, icebergs are riddled with billions of tiny, trapped air bubbles, giving the huge bergs their white appearance. Yes and if you want to get more specific, the density of ice 0.9g/cm cubed and the density of water is 1 g/cm cubed so if you think of this out of 100, 90% of the iceberg is underwater and 10% is above the water. All has to do with density.
Is the water in the San Francisco Bay salt water or fresh water?
Hudson Bay is in fact both. Taking into account the inflow of salt water that flows in from the Arctic Ocean (Fax Basin) and fresh water from the rivers that pour into James Bay/ Hudson Bay the ratio of fresh water to salt water is 2:5. Taking into account the fresh water that comes from the thawing of the ice cover on James Bay/Hudson Bay the ratio is 4:5.
Is the Indian ocean a salt water ocean?
All four oceans are saltwater come on now. Well, how were we suppose to know? Come on now is a bit rude, I agree with the person for asking the question, it is okay to ask that. I didn't know. I know today that there are four oceans, the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic. There are fresh water lakes in Alaska, and Arctic the north pole, and Antarctica south pole are salty but their glaciers are fresh water. Salt water is dense but at 1.8 degrees negative c, the salt expels and the frozen water is fresh. the south pole contains 70 percent of the worlds fresh water, and 90 percent of the worlds ice.
What ships gave the titanic warnings about ice bergs?
There was about 20 iceburg warning the titanic received on the day of the collision.
Why is a ice berg called a ice berg?
The word iceberg is a partial translation from the Dutch word, ijsberg, which literally means "ice mountain." Icebergs are often referred to simply as "bergs".
Most fresh water comes from?
ice bergs
Are ice bergs made out of salt water?
no
Why do ice bergs melting need to be stopped?
Because if all ice bergs around Greenland were to melt then it would increase the global ocean level by hundreds of meters. Major cities such as New york, Washington and London would all be under water.
Does ice melt in water?
it depends weather its an ice berg ice bergs tend to stay :) Its not difficult, ice melts in water, the warmer the water, the quicker it melts
Do pieces of ice float in salt water?
I think that salty ice cube do float in water because ice bergs float it water and they're made of salty water. i think i depends on the density (Amount of salt) in the ice
Why does ice burg not melt with salt water all around?
Ice bergs are always melting to some extent, it is just extremely slow. There's a lot of ice to melt.
Titanic why didn't people watch out for ice bergs?
they were and they were even being told about ice bergs but they thought that The Titanic was the unsinkable ship. so they thought they didn't have to worry about ice bergs or anything
What are some disadvantages of water transportation?
Rough, Waters, Storms and Ice Bergs Etc
How are ice bergs natural resources?
well ice bergs fall of glasures like from Iceland and follows the curant
What causes icebergs to float despite their great mass?
Water is a little bit more dense as a liquid then as a solid. There is alot of air trapped in ice bergs as well. All ice bergs are fresh water I am pretty sure and the salt water is more dense than fresh water I am pretty sure all that is accurate ______________________________ All materials contract as they get colder, but when water gets down to 39 degrees Fahrenheit (4 degrees Centigrade) the water begins to expand as it forms a crystalline structure. In fact, ice expands by 15% of its volume as it freezes. So the ice is less dense than the water around it. So if you ever see an iceberg, you'll know that 15% of its mass is above the water, while 85% of the mass is below the water. Don't get too close to the iceberg, or you'll run into the submerged portion before you get to the part above the water!
Why dont ice bergs sink in the ocean?
Ice is less dense than water, so it floats in water (with about 1/8 floating above the surface).
What do you call large bodies of frozen water?
On land a large body of permanent ice is a glacier; in the water this is an iceberg.
