The Tilted, Flat-Topped Berc 



Fkure (J5. — Flat-topped bergs which roll into a new plane of flotation form 

 V-sliaped bergs, a common sight south of Newfoundland. On the right-hand side 

 of this berg, tilted at an angle of 45°. can be seen the original top surface when 

 the berg was a part of the Greenland ice cap. (Photograph liv Lieut. Commander

A Common Iceberg Form South of Newfoundland 



Figure 66. — After floating some time without changing equilibrium, a largo portion 

 of ice was calved from the left-hand side of this berg. This caused the right-hand 

 side to sink and the left to rise. The old water line is plainly discernible, inclined 

 at an angle of 25° to the water. (Official photograph, international ice patrol.)
