The arctic ones are free-floating and the antarctic is just a LOT of
ice/snow sitting on a rather big lump of rock although there are several
'ice-shelves' of not inconsiderable size extending out.  I stand ready to be
corrected.......

Sorry about that, Chris. I was under a misapprehension in that I thought the
arctic ones were afloat. Drat! I've won a few pints of ale on that one.
However, is it not the case that it's mostly big chunks that break off and
float away as 'bergs that melt?

Maybe I should start blaming it on all these radiohams making the planet
vibrate at strange frequencies.
