HOW ICEBERGS ARE BORN


How icebergs are born
Glaciers flow downhill from the southern Andes Mountains in Chile, releasing their ice into the Pacific Ocean via an intricate network of fjords. The ice breaks up into icebergs in a process known as calving. The process, shown in this picture released on Oct. 5, was observed from the International Space Station in orbit.
