Dear Olivier

>       number_content_of_icebergs (m-2)
That is consistent with existing names and makes sense but it's a bit
surprising, don't you think? Because icebergs are so large, it doesn't seem
obvious to talk about the number content of them; that idea is more applicable
to microscopic objects. It would feel more natural to me to name this
  number_of_icebergs_per_unit_area
We already use the phrase per_unit_area in other names as well.

Cheers

Jonathan
