- , said that after the icebergs broke off the Ronne Ice Shelf, the front of the ice shelf, where it meets the sea, returned to about the same position it had in the 1950s. ...
- Unlike Greenland's much smaller icebergs, those from Antarctica rarely drift into shipping lanes to endanger ships, such as the Titanic. ...
- Over the years, most Antarctic icebergs have broken away with no one knowing about it. Antarctic icebergs generally drift around close to the coast or are caught up in the currents that circle the continent, where they drift until they melt without ever moving into oceans where they are likely to be seen by ordinary ships or airliners. ...
- Antarctica's icebergs come from ice that covers more than 90% of the continent. ... Ice that reaches the sea breaks loose, sometimes in the form of huge icebergs. ...

- Although glacial deposits of rocks and boulders are common, especially in the upper Midwest, "There probably isn't anyplace else in the world where there are so many rocks that rafted in on icebergs," said Bruce Bjornstad, a geologist at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Wash. ...

- Ocean Tides Once Spread Massive Icebergs: Study.
- Labrador Sea ocean tides dislodged huge Arctic icebergs thousands of years ago, carrying gigantic ice-rafted debris across the ocean and contributing to the ice age's deep freeze, say an international team of university researchers.
- The study, published in the November issue of Nature, is the first to suggest that ocean tides contributed to enigmatic Heinrich events, a phenomenon where colossal discharges of icebergs periodically flowed into the North Atlantic from about 60,000 to 10,000 years ago.
- The events occurred during the deep throes of the ice age and the new study shows that tides added to the chill by breaking gigantic icebergs from the ice sheet covering northern Canada.
- "We can safely assume that the tides played a key role in breaking the ice and launching the icebergs into the ocean. ...
