ice chunk
Glacier's broken piece
A piece of ice, typically irregular in shape and substantial enough to handle or notice.
Ice chunks float in drinks, break off glaciers, or form when frozen surfaces crack apart.
The term emphasizes size and solidity more than *ice cube* (manufactured, uniform) or *ice chip* (small, fragmentary): Ice chunks bobbed in the river after the spring thaw.
