Best Answer

Ice is less dense than liquid water, so it floats. This is the same reason why ice cubes float in a glass of water.

Are iceburgs salty?

No, we don't find salt in iceburgs. Iceburgs may have salt on the outside as they are in contact with seawater. But iceburgs originally form when snow piles up on glaciers and turns into ice, and then that ice breaks off (calves) to float freely. In the polar areas, the sea freezes over, and then snow covers the ice and builds up to become ice and then break free to form bergs. Icebergs are fresh water ice.
