The time it takes for an iceberg to melt varies. The size of the berg has a lot to do with it, and some bergs are as large as small states. Yes, you read that correctly. Let's look at a single example. Imagine an iceberg the size of the island of Jamaica. The massive B-15 berg calved off Antarctica in March of 2000, and pieces of it were floating 6 years later.

Why do iceburges take long to melt?

I assume you mean "iceberg". If they are large, they will take a long time to melt, since they can only melt at their surface.The time it takes them to melt will also depend on the temperature - as well as the shape of the iceberg.


Does an ice cube melt faster than an ice berg?

Yes, an ice cube will melt faster than an iceberg because an ice cube has a larger surface area in contact with the surrounding environment, allowing for more heat transfer to speed up the melting process. Additionally, an iceberg's larger mass means it requires more energy to melt compared to an ice cube.

How long will it take for the Pine iceberg in Antarctica to melt?

This berg, which calved off Pine Island, Antarctica, in November 2013, lost significant mass early on, but nearly a year later, remains about six times the size of Manhattan Island in USA's New York City. It is estimated that this berg may be 500 metres thick according to NASA's Earth Observatory. Because its rate of decay is unpredictable, it remains a mystery as to how long it will take the iceberg to melt.
