Question

Icebergs are huge chunks of ice that have broken off from glaciers and fallen into the ocean. Because they come from glaciers, icebergs are made up of freshwater, which is full of nutrients. As icebergs melt, the nutrients from the freshwater enter the ocean. These nutrients provide food for fish of all sizes, who come to feed around the iceberg. Holes in the iceberg provide places for fish to escape from predators, such as seabirds.

While icebergs can help provide a great habitat for fish,they can make life difficult for other animals. For example, huge icebergs near Antarctica sometimes block the path of penguins as they try to migrate from one location to another in order to find food.

By the way, this weekend there's a great documentary about icebergs on TV, so please watch it. We'll discuss it in class next week.
