Answer 2

In the poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," the iceberg is said to be "as green as emerald." The reason behind calling the iceberg to be as green can be said to be symbolizing the nature. After the Albatross was killed, the crew member on the ship was terrified from the curse of nature. They thought that nature would bring some mishappening to them as well. But the next morning the opposite happened. Nature was not harmful, instead, a breeze blew and the crew felt relaxed to feel so. Hence, they considered the iceberg to be as green which symbolizes the hope of life.
