Best Answer

A glacier is a frozen river, which forms in freezing conditions high up in mountains. As it reaches lower altitudes, it may melt. However, in some parts of the world, especially in Greenland and in Antarctica, the air is so cold that the glacier can reach the sea and remain frozen. When this happens, the glacier pushes the frozen water out into the ocean. Eventually, under the influence of wave action or internal stresses, a lump of ice breaks off. This process is known as calving. The lump of ice is now free to float away. It is called an iceberg.
