Why are icebergs made of freshwater if it doesn't rain in Antarctica?

Freshwater ice is formed from moisture, and over mellennia, can form enough ice to calve off an ice sheet and produce icebergs.
Humidity in Antarctica is only about five percent, so ice formation in the ice sheet is a lengthy process.

What are icebergs made up of?
Icebergs are just huge amounts of frozen seawater. no, freshwater
Why is Glacial melt water better for you?
All glaciers and icebergs are made of freshwater. Glacial melt water is better for you because it is freshwater, which is clean and pure unlike the water from some rivers or the sea which have to be filtered.
Do icebergs at the north and south poles taste salty?
They aren't made of salt water. They may taste salty on the outside due to sea spray, but the ice itself is freshwater.
Icebergs are made of sea water or fresh water or both?
Icebergs are made of fresh water.
How does global warming affect icebergs?
Icebergs are made of ice and since the greenhouse gases are making the earth warmer the icebergs are melting.
Where are cellos made?
Antarctica Antarctica
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.
How do the icebergs float?
An iceberg floats because water is one of the few substances that is slightly denser as a liquid than as a solid. This is why ice cubes float in water icebergs are made from fresh water. Because of the dissolved salts in ocean water, it is denser than freshwater, adding bouyancy to the icebergs. Most icebergs actually contain a lot of air. Far from being the solid blocks of ice many people imagine, icebergs are riddled with billions of tiny, trapped air bubbles, giving the huge bergs their white appearance. Yes and if you want to get more specific, the density of ice 0.9g/cm cubed and the density of water is 1 g/cm cubed so if you think of this out of 100, 90% of the iceberg is underwater and 10% is above the water. All has to do with density.
