9/10ths of the iceberg is typically underwater.
The most famous iceberg is likely the one that sank the Titanic in 1912. This iceberg was estimated to be about 100 feet tall and came from glaciers in Greenland. Its collision with the Titanic resulted in one of the deadliest maritime disasters in history.
On a stormy day, the air density would most likely be the lowest.
Since the icecaps are always changing, the largest iceberg in the world is also changing. The largest iceberg is most likely located in the Arctic Circle, which have large icecaps also.

No, an iceberg is approximately 10% less dense than seawater. This is why it floats
The iceberg is denser than the ship because it is made of ice, which has a higher density than water. This causes the iceberg to displace more water and have a larger mass for its volume compared to the ship.
The buoyant force on the iceberg when the 360 kg mass is placed on it is equal to the weight of the added mass. We can use the concept of relative density (or specific gravity) to find the mass of the iceberg, knowing that it displaces its own weight in water. By applying the principle of buoyancy, we can calculate the iceberg's mass to be around 400 kg.
No. Upon learning that an iceberg was ahead, the captain ordered the crew to reverse the engines, and to steer to the side, but if he would have ordered to have the ship sped up instead, the ship would have most likely have missed the iceberg.
Liquid mercury
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.
