No, the Titanic iceberg is definitely not still there.
Icebergs are composed of freshwater ice that has broken off from glaciers or ice shelves. They are inherently unstable and, especially in the warmer waters of the North Atlantic, relatively short-lived.
Here's why the iceberg that the Titanic struck would have long since melted:
- Iceberg Lifespan: On average, icebergs exist for about two to three years.
- Melting: The iceberg was already melting both on its way into the Atlantic and after the collision, because of the warmer water temperatures it encountered.
- Timeframe: The Titanic sank in 1912. Even if the fatal iceberg calved (broke off from a larger ice mass) in 1910 or 1911, it likely would have completely melted by the end of 1912 or sometime in 1913. It is now over a century later, therefore, the iceberg is long gone.
Therefore, any iceberg present in the North Atlantic in 1912 would have undoubtedly melted away years ago.
