berg
This term is a shortened form of iceberg, though it is frequently used as a standalone noun in nautical, scientific, and geographic contexts. It evokes a sense of immense, cold scale and hidden danger, as the majority of the mass remains submerged beneath the water line.
Because it refers to a distinct physical entity, it follows standard countability rules. It is most commonly encountered in technical reports regarding polar navigation or in historical references to maritime disasters.
Meanings
Examples
They warned us about the bergs in these waters.
The Titanic struck a berg in the North Atlantic.
I wonder how long that berg will last before it melts.
