I WONDER - Are Icebergs Important For Animals?

Icebergs play a crucial role in marine ecosystems by releasing nutrients like iron into the ocean as they melt. This nutrient release stimulates the growth of phytoplankton, which forms the base of the marine food chain. The abundance of phytoplankton attracts various marine animals, creating a rich ecosystem around the icebergs. Additionally, some icebergs serve as resting spots for polar animals such as seals and penguins.
