I always thought it’d be due to freezing of water but turns out it’s just ice floating around. I have a few questions.
How do icebergs grow?
How do they float? I mean, if it grows, after some time it is bound to sink. Does it sink or does it break off when pressure gets too high?
How huge are icebergs? The tip and the bottom in comparison.
Can a person survive on an iceberg, suppose after a crash or being afloat in water for a long time?

Icebergs do not grow, they break off from polar ice masses and glaciers. Ice floats because it is less dense than liquid water, so it will float no matter the size. They eventually melt with time or when they drift to warmer waters, and vary wildly in size.
Its just a chunk of ice, there is not much to it
