Ok. its 2007 now, Titanic sank, and is rotting away at the bottom of the cold atlantic ocean. but WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ICEBERG???I have been looking around the web for sometime now but haven't found an answer. maybe someone else knows. i'm pretty sure it didn't melt all the way but i'm sure some scientist found it. so does anyone have an answer?

Who knows dude,with all the global warming and stuff.You make a very valid point though.For something that took down something so big,you would think that some scientist would have kept track of the thing. sorry i couldnt be of any help.

The iceberg melted away long ago. Icebergs break apart from Greenland and Iceland when spring comes, and they drift south. So Titanic's iceberg would have melted as it drifted south into the equator area because of the warm temperatures.

Has nothing to do with global warming caused by humans, especially back then! Although the winter of 1912 was unusually warm they said. Thats why they had so much ice in the shipping lanes.

well. icebergs don't melt that easily. just like we STILL have glaciers from the ice age.yes those are up north BUT!in england its mostly always cold.So that Iceberg could have gone past the equator down south or if it had split up some parts would go north and maybe stay in a cold place unless something happens

Good reply my friend, however, icebergs in the north Atlantic move with the ocean current basically south and melt away, especially the one that hit the Titanic, which was caught in the Labrador current.

Yes they are big, and can take a long time to melt, but the ocean is a lot bigger, and over the time it takes an iceberg to cross the ocean north to south, it melts tremendously and breaks apart.

Its a natural part of the ocean cycle. Icebergs actually help keep the oceans salt at a certain level because when they melt they put fresh water in the ocean. Kind of cool!

MGY Friend is exactly right. You have to look at it this way. When the sun hits an iceberg, the brunt of the rays are reflected back into the sky. When the sunlight hits the water surrounding the berg, over 90% of it is absorbed into the water. When the water around the berg is warming up, there is nowhere else for the berg to go. So it melts. It's a scientific fact. ESPECIALLY when following currents and trends toward the equator.

This iceberg probably last only a few weeks after the collision. And picture this, there are three classes of icebergs. The one that struck Titanic was in the second grouping, meaning it was between 65-70 feet tall. At least the part that stuck out of the water. Other icebergs in those waters would reach upward of 150 feet. They would have been better off crashing into it head on, a topic I intend to bring up on another thread.

hmm...but what if... what if the iceberg sank aswell.not imediatly but soon after most of it melted away. what if it sank to the bottom of the atlantic. even in summer the bottom of the atlantic has frozen objects in ice blocks. so its possible it sank, maybe got more ice on it, and still exist.

Example: put an ice cube in ice cold water, it will sink bu since the bottom of atlantic has not a spark of light its got to be atleast -10 through - 25.

You can't be serious! Test your theory again... Ice cubes do not sink in water unless you put another on top of it in a contained unit. Ice if frozen water, and it floats because of the air traped inside. The rest of this makes no sense to me.

there is no oxygen in something frozen. if you tryed breathing in a block of ice tough luck.
