Icebergs and glaciers are
both enormous masses of snow, built up over the years through natural
processes. However, they are both different from each other in form and
structure, as well process of formation. Glaciers are formed over
continual deposition of snow at a place where it does not melt. When a chunk of
this glacier breaks off and floats in the water, it is known as an iceberg.
