Qeqertaq Avannarleq

Qeqertaq Avannarleq (Greenlandic for 'the northernmost island') is a grounded iceberg in the Arctic Ocean, covered by a layer of soil, pebbles and mud. Its name is unofficial. Discovered in August 2021 off of the northern tip of Greenland, it was originally thought to be an island. In 2022, it was re-designated as an iceberg with a surface consisting primarily of seabed mud and moraine, an accumulation of unconsolidated debris left behind by glaciers. One theory as to its creation was that it was formed relatively recently, during a violent storm.
