An ice that breaks off a glacier and floats away is called an iceberg.
An iceberg is a glacier that breaks off from a glacier or ice shelf and floats away in the ocean. These large chunks of ice can be found in polar regions and are a common sight in Arctic and Antarctic waters.
When a glacier flows into the sea, it breaks off chunks of ice at the edge, forming icebergs in a process called calving. The icebergs then float away from the glacier and into the open ocean.
New icebergs float on sea water and are broken away from the ice floe in a process called calving. The iceberg calvesoff the floe.
Calf bergs are small icebergs that are calved, or broken off, from larger icebergs. They typically range in size from a few meters to tens of meters in width and height. Calf bergs can pose a hazard to ships and navigation in areas where they are present.

When a glacier or very large ice burg has a large chunk of ice break away from the main body of ice, the piece that breaks away is known as a calf.
A large detached piece of an iceberg or glacier is known as an iceberg calving. This process occurs when a chunk of ice breaks away from the main body of the glacier or iceberg due to factors like temperature changes, melting, or pressure. These calved icebergs can vary in size, from small pieces to massive chunks the size of buildings.

A bergschrund is a large crack or crevasse in a glacier where the glacier is pulling away from the mountain.
