Iceberg calving event is one of the main processes that removes mass from ice shelves. The large iceberg calving events are a part of the natural cycle, where the frontal portion exceeds beyond its embayment wall and then results into retreat, this process is known as iceberg calving. The calving events are necessary to maintain the mass balance of the ice sheet, which is more frequent in response to atmosphere and ocean warming1. Iceberg calving from ice shelves and glacier tongues might be caused by the impact of ocean waves of various types2.
