FWIW, this sort of thing is called an Ice Floe ... it consist of lake surface ice that either formed free floating, or broke off from shore (in which case, it used to be shore-fast ice).

An iceberg is a piece of floating ice that broke off (calved from) a glacier. It formed as land ice, distant from the sea, and flowed downhill to the sea.
