Editing Iceberg (section)

=== Stability ===
An iceberg may flip, or capsize, as it melts and breaks apart, changing the [[Center of mass|center of gravity]]. Capsizing can occur shortly after calving when the iceberg is young and establishing balance.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=MacAyeal|first1=Douglas R.|last2=Abbot|first2=Dorian S.|last3=Sergienko|first3=Olga V.|date=2011|title=Iceberg-capsize tsunamigenesis|journal=Annals of Glaciology|language=en|volume=52|issue=58|pages=51–56|doi=10.3189/172756411797252103|bibcode=2011AnGla..52...51M|issn=0260-3055|doi-access=free}}</ref> Icebergs are unpredictable and can capsize anytime and without warning. Large icebergs that break off from a glacier front and flip onto the glacier face can push the entire glacier backwards momentarily, producing 'glacial earthquakes' that generate as much energy as an atomic bomb.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.sciencenewsforstudents.org/article/flipping-icebergs |title=Flipping Icebergs  |work=ScienceNews for Students |author=Stephen Ornes |date=April 3, 2012 |access-date=June 9, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/06/25/417457888/study-reveals-what-happens-during-a-glacial-earthquake |title=Study Reveals What Happens During A 'Glacial Earthquake' |work=NPR |author=Nell Greenfieldboyce  |date=June 25, 2015 |accessdate=March 9, 2021}}</ref>
