You may be thinking of icebergs.
That large floating chunk of ice is called an iceberg, and its presence poses a significant threat to ships navigating in the waters near Antarctica. Icebergs can cause damage or even sink ships due to their size and the difficulty in detecting them, making navigation hazardous in these regions.
A lage chunk of ice floating in the water, most of it is in the water.
Floating ice is already in the water, so its melting causes no rise in lake levels.
A slow moving river of ice is known as a glacier. Glaciers are large bodies of ice formed by the accumulation and compaction of snow over long periods of time. They flow under their own weight due to the force of gravity.
GlacierLarge masses of floating ice are called Icebergs. There are different types, but that is the general term applied to those large masses of ice.
There is no logical or scientific reason why a chunk of ice a billion kilometers away will change human behavior more than antarctica does.

Icebergs change size and shape constantly. When a fissure or crack develops and a portion breaks off it is called a floe. Changes in icebergs are determined by climate, pressure, force and temperature.
Um, no. The moon, Pandora is like all other moons, and is a giant chunk of rock floating around a planet, with no life whatsoever.
Technically no-one owns any land in Antarctica. Various countries have staked claims in Antarctica but these have not been universally recognised and after the 1959 Antarctica treaty, which essentially prevented any future claims, Antarctica's status has been pretty much unchanged - lots of people claim to own chunks of it but everybody else says they don't. You could say the Australians because they claim the largest chunk of it...
Chunks do not really mean something very small like most people may think,it could be a large particle or huge mass. Floating chunks of ice from ice sheets or ice shelves (land ice) are called "ICEBERGS", while large areas of floating sea ice are called "ICE FLOES".
