An iceberg will form in a matter of seconds as it breaks off of a glacier or ice shelf and begins floating independently in the water. The components of an iceberg (ice and rock material) will vary tremendously in age based on the speed at which the glacier moved and the rock components which are contained within.

How many penguins does it take to tip the iceberg?

No matter how many penguins are on the iceberg, you can't tip it. Even if you have the whole iceberg full you really can't do it. It has never been done but people (including me) still try to tip it.

Ho wlong does it take an ice berg to form?

The formation of an iceberg typically takes many years, as it begins with the accumulation and compaction of snow in glaciers. Over time, as more snow falls and pressure increases, the ice compresses and eventually breaks off from the glacier's edge into the ocean, where it becomes an iceberg. This process can vary significantly depending on environmental conditions, such as temperature and snowfall rates, but it generally spans several decades to centuries.
