Tabular Iceberg

A tabular iceberg is a specific type of iceberg with distinct shape and size features. It is often referred to as a "table iceberg" because of its flat-top surface.

A tabular iceberg has the following distinguishing features:

• When newly formed it has a nearly flat top and vertical sides
• May be up to 100 miles long, 1000 ft. thick with about 100 ft. exposed above the sea surface
• A length-to-height ratio greater than 5:1
• Often shows horizontal banding or layering on the sides
