When you consider all the heat within the entire iceberg it has much more heat than one lit match. Your body probably contains more heat than one lit match.
Heat is the energy created by matter in motion and can be transferred from hotter matter to colder matter. The warmer water transfers heat to the colder air to make ice. Temperature is a measurement of how much heat is in matter.
Comparing the heat in an iceberg to that in a lit match is slightly confusing. The heat in an iceberg is thermal energy, as is the heat in a unlit match. But, a lit match is obtaining additional energy from the chemical reactions of combustion. That is, chemical bonding energy is being released as thermal energy.
The comparison seems surprising because the temperature of the flame of a lit match (hot!) is much higher than the temperature of an iceberg. But, temperature is not the same as heat.

I prefer the story of Babe Ruth visiting an injured boy in the hospital, and promising to hit a homer just for him—which he did.

I prefer the story of Jackie Mitchell, the 17-year-old girl who struck out both Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.

So today we have 3 facts, Mammoth Cabbage, Iceberg Lettuce, and a Cabbage head baseball player…time for me to take a leaf of absence from here.
