Which sheets of ice break off the edge of Antarctica?
IceFlows.
How is an ice shelf different from an ice berg?
An ice shelf is a floating extension of a continental ice sheet, which means generally the only place you find them is in Antarctica. When ice breaks off this ice shelf, which is adjacent to ocean water, it becomes a chunk of (freshwater) ice and floats off to its death. This is an ice berg. Ice bergs refer to any ice in the ocean that has broken off from glaciers, so it doesn't necessarily have to break off an ice shelf. Ice bergs are separate from sea ice, however, which forms from sea water that freezes.
