Seems like it could be a solution to them melting and raising the sea levels. I know it wouldn’t be simple but could we chip away at them over time?

People used to do this in the 1800s to some extent. Transport the ice from icebergs to be used elsewhere. It wasn’t the most feasible idea then, and it still isn’t now. Though maybe once things get bad enough that “for profit” ventures start becoming a thing of the past and become “For necessity” that might change. But even then, towing an iceberg is no easy feat, and transporting a moderate volume of water vast distances like that just isn’t very viable. An iceberg measuring 3,000 x 1,500 x 600 feet will have enough water to supply Florida for a single day. IF you could process it. IF you could distribute it around. And that’s a big ass berg
That would basically be like the oil industry, but with water
