Great photo but your co-worker is just hinting at how fast he drinks rather than the density of the ice cubes.

Any density difference between “iceberg ice” cubes vs “regular” will be minimal.

They were not disappointed

This pic was taken off the coast in the community of Ferryland, Newfoundland

Apparently.. icebergs make great ice-cubes for drinks because the ice is so sense and takes forever to melt. I have a coworker in our Newfoundland office who told me he can get three rum-and-cokes out of ONE ice-cube

True, the buoyancy would indicate that density is still less than water.

When I was much younger my family's nextdoor neighbor had a Baracuda. My brother took a ride in it with him once. He said it was like being in a rocketship.

According to my wife, when she licked an iceberg that washed to shore and it tasted fresh, and the ocean is salt water which makes things buoyant

Very true. Though the density difference between salt water and fresh is typically much less of a difference than between h2o as a liquid vs solid.

You can measure the relative density of something by considering its mass and volume of water it displaces. For anything less dense than water, it is even easier (you don’t need its mass) because you can determine this by measuring how much of it (by volume) is not submerged.

So, for an ice cube (or iceberg) you can find its density by proportion of ice that stays submerged. An ice cube is just over 90% the density of water and so a little over 90% will be submerged.

You’re right that salt water density plays a role too. But less so. But none of it really has anything to do with the ice from the iceberg being denser. You can tell that much by how it will still displace the same amount of that rum and coke as any other cube = same density.

4 years ago my wife and I took a cruise to Antarctica. It was beautiful. I highly recommend it.

1994 Harvey Annual Report issued to stockholders. It is an interesting time capsule of a pivotal point in the company’s history as they had moved completely out of comic book publishing and into movies and TV.

It looks like I’ve got about 5 pitchers opening on this plant since I took it out of the greenhouse spring forward.

While going through some family stuff, I found the scissors my grandmother used to cut hair when I was little. I had them shadow boxed so I could hang them up in the house.

Went to an art show today for the local school system. A number of the high school kids went the comic route. There were more but I only took two pics:

Haven’t seen this (or the preceding Black Panther version) posted here.

Audemars Piguet watch. I like Spidey and I like AP watches. Not sure how much I like mixing the two but here it is:

Edit: it can be yours for around $250k. Maybe…
