How do icebergs float in the antarctic?
Because ice is less dense than the water it floats in. However, if your question relates to why there are icebergs in the Antarctic and Arctic, but not in other waters, it is due to a number of reasons, such as : - The icebergs are (generally) formed when a slab of the Antarctic or Arctic ice cap close to the sea breaks off (it must be noted, however, that there is no land at the north pole, so the Arctic ice cap is simply one massive iceberg) and floats away. - In the Antarctic something called the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antarctic_Circumpolar_Current) causes the icebergs to whip around the Southern Ocean, rather than venture out into warmer waters - Also, icebergs do float upwards into the warmer oceans of the world, but melt as they encounter warmer climates and waters.
Why are icebergs made of freshwater but float in salt water?
