Icebergs are blocks of fresh-water ice that break off from glaciers and float out to sea. Glaciers are formed in polar regions where snowfall lasts for centuries, or even millennium, without entirely melting, and is eventually compressed into ice. In the North Atlantic, most icebergs originate from the tidewater glaciers of Western Greenland. Compressed snow becomes firm, a granular snow, transformed eventually by pressure into a dense ice.

It depends entirely on the size of the iceberg and where it floats. If it stays in cold water, it will last longer than if it floats down into warmer water. Larger icebergs last longer than small ones.

Who found first iceberg?

Icebergs have been naturally occurring longer than there have been humans. So the first human to see an iceberg was simply the first human that made it far enough north into the natural range of icebergs. And that's too far back in history for us who know who it was.
