It comes down to salt water vs. fresh water. If you remember from my last journal, sea ice is made from ocean water, that's SALT water. Glaciers (and icebergs, by the way) are formed from fresh water or snow.

    Glaciers and sea ice are NOT the same!
    This is Perito Moreno Glacier located in Argentina, photograher Luca Galuzzi. Pretty neat, huh?

    By the way, to find out more about glaciers, check out Shelly Hynes's journal from July 4, 2012 about the Russell GlacierA mass of ice that persists for many years and notably deforms and flows under the influence of gravity. in Greeland here.
