Icebergs that break off into the ocean from glaciers do not contain salt, as they are formed by freshwater on land (snow, ice).
Icebergs that form in the ocean mostly do not contain salt either. This is because as the seawater freezes, it forms a crystal structure (ice) that prevents salt ions from being included.

∙ 12y agoNo, there is no salt in glaciers or ice caps.

Are ice cubes glaciers and snowballs an example of water in its solid state?
yes, ice cubes glaciers and snowballs are made of ice, which is water in its solid state
Is snow made from fresh water?
I should think it would be made of salt water since the icebergs I have heard of are all in the ocean. They are pure water as they are created from glaciers and since glacier ice is formed from falling snow and snow results from condensed water vapor in the atmosphere, the water from icebergs is quite pure.
What are some kinds of water?
There is salt water and fresh water. Fresh water is only about 3% of the water in the world, and salt is about 97%. Of the 3% of fresh water, about 67% is in glaciers and ice caps. Hope this gives you what you're looking for. ;D Kay_kay

Do glaciers contain saltwater?
Glaciers are formed from the compaction of snow, therefore they are strictly a fresh water formation.
What do glaciers give us to drink?
glaciers are just lots of ice. when this ice melts it turns into H2O (water). so glaciers give us water to drink.

Does ice water or salt ice water cool a soda fastest?
salt ice water
How are glaciers and a sliding Ice cube similar?
glaciers slide slowly when they melt and there is water under them similarly as ice cubes.
Why does the salt level not change in the oceans?
The salt level does not change in the ocean because over a billion years ago the Ice Age Period was here on earth and all oceans where solid Ice and when Global Warming set in motion all the Ice melted and the bottom of the ocean floor is salt so when it melted the salt came above the water and the glaciers mixed with that and glaciers are mostly made out of Ice (mostly 321 feet tall) so it never changes.
Match the approximate percentage of the world's water to where it is stored?
Salt water: 97 percent Ice caps and glaciers: 2 percent Fresh liquid water: 1 percent -Apex- :)
