I am doing a project on the Titanic. In the film they show one big glacier standing alone in the middle of the ocean. Is this picture accurate?

  1. It was an iceberg, not a glacier.  Glaciers aren't oceanic.  Chunks of ice, sometimes vast chunks, can break off and drift away.  Those are the icebergs and their 'birth' is sometimes called calving.


  2. Icebergs are what typically break off from glaciers and drift along the oceans currents.

  3. In the picture it wasn't a glacier it was an Iceberg
