I saw that on the news. Very rare for snow there.Bay of Mont Saint-Michel in the French western region of Normandy, as winter weather with snow and cold temperatures hits a large northern part of the country, France, February 10, 2021.

I think the tide did it. So ice must be stationary, not an iceberg.
Edit: but that is just a guess.

It just seems too perfect to me for that. Probably photoshopped.

Antarctic program employee here... They are formed by water runoff from the top of the berg. The runoff forms gullies and streams similar a trellace pattern seen in the headwaters of river systems. As the berg get lees buoyant it rises and the streams incise forming "nik points". The berg in the photo must have been a flat sheet that broke off without chunking out. That formed a uniform drainage pattern. I've never seen one a defined as good as that one though...
edit** I have pics I've taken if you guys want em...
edit** I didn't look at the picture clearly enough. It is from different layers in the snow, not a trellace drainage pattern. **smacks forehead
edit** sorry about spelling and errors I was updating from my iPad... I guess what is going on in the picture is something interesting that is likely just the result of a number of different of factors. The best answer is likely "I don't know".
It definitely looks like an ice shelf. and not a berg. I"ll post some pics I've taken of the Ross ice shelf...

I was wrong. It was runoff. Looks like turned chair or table legs to me. But then I'm highAF.
