Melting bergy bits are more serious than they sound, but this scientist found a way to study them Climate change isn't just about massive ice sheets. By Erin Blakemore Published Jun 6, 2018 11:36 ...

Icebergs cover a huge spectrum of sizes, from the tiny “growlers” (less than 3 ft tall and 15 ft across, or smaller than the U.S. Coast Guard definition above) and “bergy bits” (up to the ...

That way, passengers can see animals like seals lounging on bergy bits, while the ship minimizes disruptions to the marine environment.

The world's biggest iceberg is drifting toward a tiny south Atlantic island, potentially affecting the wildlife there, including seals and penguins.

Icebergs or pieces of floating ice smaller than 16 feet above the sea surface are classified as 'bergy bits', while those smaller than 3 feet are 'growlers'.

No-one knows for sure, but the berg might even be there for years, defending its title as the world’s biggest and resisting its eventual break-up into bergy bits and growlers.

The biggest iceberg in the world, named A23a, appears to have run aground off the island of South Georgia.

Every day, large chunks are falling off into the sea. A23a is surrounding itself with an armada of off-cuts - of football-pitch-sized "bergy bits" and lorry-sized "growlers".

The humpback whale gently surfaced a mere 30 feet in front of our Zodiac gently rocking the boat and a nearby bergy bit of ice. It was the perfect end to an 18-day exploration cruise through the ...

Waves are cutting into its walls and chunks are breaking off to form a surrounding armada of football-pitch-sized "bergy bits" and lorry-sized "growlers".

That way, passengers can see animals like seals lounging on bergy bits, while the ship minimizes disruptions to the marine environment.
