This phenomenon is known as an iceberg calving. Iceberg calving occurs when a large piece of ice breaks off from a glacier or ice shelf and floats into the ocean, forming an iceberg. This process is a natural part of the glacier's movement and can be triggered by various factors, such as temperature changes or the ice shelf's structure.
