How fast do icebergs travel compared with wind speed?

Icebergs typically travel at a speed equal to approximately 3 percent of the wind speed.1

Predicting the exact drift of an iceberg is complex because it is influenced by multiple factors, including the frictional drag of the wind on its surfaces and the drag of ocean currents acting upon its immersed parts. Additionally, the Coriolis force plays a significant role, diverting icebergs to the right of their track in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. Due to these combined forces, an iceberg's direction of motion relative to the surface wind is typically about 40°–50° to the right or left, depending on the hemisphere.1
