Thousands of years ago, snow piled up on land near the poles. The snow froze into
layers of ice. These are called glaciers. Due to water movements, wind, and
temperature, parts of glaciers near the sea melt and break free. These are icebergs.

full of air bubbles. They float thousands of kilometers down the sea until they melt away.

free. And these icebergs are melting too quickly. This means animals such as polar bears
and seals are losing their habitats.
