The vertical cliff forming the seaward face of an ice shelf or other floating glacier, varying in height from 2 to 50 m above sea level (cf. Ice wall).
The vertical cliff forming the seaward face of an ice shelf or other floating glacier varying in height from 6 to 165 ft (2-50 m) or more above sea level.
The vertical cliff forming the seaward face of an ice shelf or other floating glacier, varying in height from 2 to 50 meters (2.2 to 55 yards) above sea level.
Sea ice terminology. Describes the vertical cliff that forms the seaward face of an ice shelf or other floating glacier. It varies in height from 2 m to 50 m or more above sea level.
A form of tabular iceberg found in the Arctic Ocean, with a thickness of 30-50 m and from a few thousand square meters to 500 km^2 in area. Ice islands often have an undulated surface, which gives the
m a ribbed appearance from the air.
Sea ice terminology. Describes a large piece of floating ice protruding about 5 metres above sea level, which has broken away from an Arctic ice shelf. Ice islands have a thickness of 30 m to 50 m, an
d an area of a few thousand square metres up to 500 sq. Km or more. They are usually characterized by a regularly rolling surface giving a ribbed appearance from the air.
A form of tabular berg found in the Arctic Ocean, with a thickness of 30 - 50 meters (33 to 55 yards) and an area from a few thousand square meters to 500 square kilometers (123,550 acres); ice island
s often have an undulating surface, which gives them a ribbed appearance from the air.
A form of tabular berg found in the Arctic Ocean, with a thickness of 30 to 50 m and from a few thousand square m to 500 square km in area. Ice islands often have an undulating surface, which gives th

A large piece of floating ice protruding about 5 m above sea-level, which has broken away from an Arctic ice shelf, having a thickness of 15-30 m and an area of from a few thousand square meters to 50
0 km2 or more, and usually characterized by a regularly undulating surface which gives it a ribbed appearance from the air. [Note: Antarctic use is slightly different and refers to a grounded part of a floating ice sheet which rises significantly higher than its surroundings, eg Butler Island. There are also more substantial features, eg the Lyddan Ice Rise.]
