Icebergs

Icebergs are a natural phenomenon that occur when large chunks of ice break off of a much larger glacier or ice sheet and float freely in the open water. These puppies are monitored as they present a danger to ships in the North Atlantic (see  RMS Titanic). They have a tendency when they melt to make a fizzing sound due to air bubbles frozen inside.
