because the pressure of the iceberg is greater than the pressure of the boat and so if the boat hits it, the iceberg will hit the boat, make a hole, and all of the pressure holding the boat up will be released and the ship will sink.

Why are icebergs dangerous to passing ships?
icebergs are dangerous to passing ships as icebergs are hard to spot because usually about 90% of the iceberg is under water. This could make people think that it is only a small iceberg when really it could be very big. Also the iceberg's edges are very sharp due to the very low temperatures and can cut though the ship's hull easily.

Great white whale dangerous to people?
yes many years ago when people used to travel on ships white whales mostly braked the ships or swam away after trying to. some scientists suppose whales think that that is a fish while others say that whales do not want anything to swim in the sea that is bigger that them. now-days white whales are not that dangerous because most of the ships and boats are made out of metal and white whales cannot bite it or even damage it.
