Erosion of a Massive Iceberg

Massive iceberg shears off after N. Zealand quake

After the 6.3 magnitude earthquake occurred in New Zealand, a 30-40 million ton iceberg drifted off into free waters, creating waves three feet high and eventually hitting a lake. It was unclear whether or not the earthquake caused the iceberg to shear off, but it has been said that it would've eroded anyway in due time.
