An iceberg is a body of ice floating in the ocean. A glacier is a land based 'river of ice' flowing from the mountains to its ultimate terminus, wherever that may be.

Thus they are very different things.

As to speed, like a river, that depends upon the gradient - in the cirques at the head, the velocity would be quite high, but slowing as the glacier grew and its gradient shallowed.
