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.
What else can I help you with?
Why don't the icebergs in Antarctica melt?
Actually, they do melt and they move around.
Do large icebergs ever melt?
Yes, they always melt. They absorb thermal energy (as in heat) which will cause it to heat up and melt little by little. I'm not sure this is true. Large icebergs usually break up before they melt, so, technically, they don't melt. It's the smaller ice bergs that melt. The "large icebergs" cease to exist at the point when they break up, so they don't last long enough to melt. Also, some large icebergs end up fusing back into the glacier they calved from. These icebergs cease to exist at that point, before they ever had a chance to melt. One way or another, every iceberg will, eventually, cease to exist. But it's not always by melting.
