i think the rivers of ice in Antarctica are called glaciers.
Icebergs (drifting ice) in Antarctica have broken off from the glaciers and ice shelves that stretch out over the sea at the continent's coastline.
An iceberg is a glacier that breaks off from a glacier or ice shelf and floats away in the ocean. These large chunks of ice can be found in polar regions and are a common sight in Arctic and Antarctic waters.
The frozen water at the South Pole is fresh water ice.
Icebergs form when chunks of ice break off from glaciers or ice shelves and float in the ocean. This happens due to the unique property of water expanding when it freezes, making ice less dense than liquid water. As a result, the frozen ice floats on the surface of the ocean, forming icebergs.
An iceberg can stick out in the water like a finger. Icebergs are large chunks of floating ice that break off from glaciers or ice shelves and can have unique shapes, some of which resemble fingers.
Antarctica is a continent that covers 10% of the earth's surface. Ninety-eight percent of it is covered with an ice sheet. The mountainous terrain of the continent means that there are thousands of glaciers on the continent. "Near Antarctica' is the Southern Ocean, which may be home to icebergs calved off continental glaciers. Rather than 'famous glaciers', Antarctica is home to ice shelves, the most famous, perhaps, being the Ross Ice Shelf, which is about as large as France.
Most free icebergs (no longer attached to ice shelves or glaciers) will have melted within five years. There will still be ice cover on Greenland, Antarctica and high mountains in five years.
Ice can flow due to the pressure exerted on it by its own weight, which causes the ice crystals to deform and slide past each other. This flow of ice is known as glacial flow and is a characteristic feature of glaciers and ice sheets. Over time, the ice can move downhill in response to gravity, forming glaciers that shape the landscape.
The Ross Ice Shelf and the Ronnie Ice Shelf are the two biggest ice shelves in Antarctica.
