The iceberg was known as a “tabular iceberg”, recognisable by its clean-cut edges.
This kind of iceberg forms when it breaks off ice shelfs with precision, but is rarely kept in its perfect state for long.
Glaciologist at the University of Maryland Kelly Brunt said in an interview to Live Science: “We get two types of icebergs.
“We get the type that everyone can envision in their head that sank the Titanic, and they look like prisms or triangles at the surface and you know they have a crazy subsurface.
“And then you have what are called ‘tabular icebergs’
“What makes this one a bit unusual is that it looks almost like a square.”
