Iceberg Size (km) Latitude/longitudeSince the publication of the second edition of our Illustrated glossary of snow and ice (Cambridge, Scott Polar Research Institute, 1973) a number of suggestions have been made for additions and alterations. We invite comments on the following new terms and definitions, either informally or to be published as letters to the Editor. These terms are considered necessary for convenient description of features which occur in the polar regions. ICEBERGA large mass of floating or stranded ice of greatly varying shape, usually more than 5 m above sea level, which has broken away from a glacier. (The word 'usually' has been added to the existing definition in order to include tabular bergs originating from low ice shelves.) * Scott Polar Research Institute, Cambridge CB2 1ER. t British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge CB3 0ET.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
