English to afrikaans meaning of

iceberg

Die woordeboekbetekenis van die woord "ysberg" is 'n groot massa ys wat van 'n gletser of yslaag weggebreek het en in die see dryf. Die sigbare deel van 'n ysberg bo die water is tipies net 'n klein gedeelte van sy totale grootte, met die meerderheid van sy massa versteek onder die oppervlak van die water. Ysberge kan gevaarlik wees vir skepe en bote omdat hul onderwater gedeeltes botsings kan veroorsaak, en hulle kan ook 'n gevaar vir buitelandse olieplatforms en ander strukture inhou.
