They are chunks of floating ice drifting away from polar regions. The density of ice is just a little less than the density of sea water, so most of the volume of an iceberg is below the surface, and so a small-looking iceberg can have a huge volume of ice below the surface. The Titanic ran into an iceberg and was holed below its waterline so the water rushed in and the ship sank.
