Most icebergs either "calve" (split off from) glaciers, as in the Antarctic, or are blocks of sea ice that drift away from the pole, as in the Arctic.
Glaciers form on land as a result of a net accumulation of snow over thousands of years. Successive layers compress earlier accumulations until, at depths below 60 to 70 meters, glacial ice is formed. Glaciers "flow" or "creep" outward under their own weight like a viscous fluid. When the edge of a glacier advances into the ocean, they begin to melt, and the pieces that break off are what we call icebergs.
Icebergs look like big chunks of ice floating on the water. They may have holes or caves in them, caused by the action of the wind and waves. The top of the iceberg is usually white, but the lower part may be a deep, rich blue.
Icebergs are large frozen masses of water. The Arctic and Antarctic Oceans contain a vast amount of sea ice and icebergs. Icebergs can be dangerous objects for sea-going vessels and problematic for wildlife.

Ice bergs all have different looks. It is important to remember that most of an iceberg's mass is underwater, so usually only the top of it is seen.
Take a piece of ice and put it in the ocean
An iceberg is made of fresh water ice. Although they float in the sea, they were formed by snow falling on land or on ice. Pieces break off and float out to sea.
Ice caps look like towers of ice.

The ice caps are made of freshwater.
A polar ice cap is a high latitude region of a planet that is covered in ice. The two ice caps on Earth are the Antarctic ice sheet and the Arctic sea ice.
The North Pole, Greenland, and the Arctic Ocean are all examples of where ice caps are located

The mars axis poles have ice caps, which is frozen water on mars.
It has a lot of ice, it's very cold, and rather uninhabited.

No, nothing grows on ice caps.
Ice caps are made out of Carbon Dioxide on Mars.
No, Triton does not have ice caps. Instead, the entire surface of Triton is ice.
Ice caps is two words, not one.Some example sentences are:Ice caps are masses of ice which cover a large area of land.The oceans will rise, causing global flooding, if the ice caps melt entirely.The Arctic ice caps are dangerously melting faster than anticipated.Ice caps are very cold.Many unique species of animals and microbes live in the ice caps.Further InformationIce caps on Wikipedia (click)Ice caps on National Geographic (click)
