What form of ice is of land origin?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — Bergy bit

Bergy bits are pieces of glacier ice originating from land, standing 1 to 5 meters above sea level with a surface area of 100 to 300 square meters. Unlike sea ice formed directly from freezing ocean water, bergy bits originate from terrestrial glaciers or ice sheets.
