90% of an iceberg is underwater. Ships or any other type of boats sailing in very cold regions have the possibility of misjudging the size of an iceberg and hitting them. The ship can crash into an iceberg that creates a hole in the ship and floods everyone on the ship. Example: Titanic
It is beause they can sink ships.

they are detected by other ships, and then a message is passed onto other ships so the ships know to look out for iceburgs

Quite a few but most notably the Titanic.
They learned that even "unsinkable" ships are not impervious to icebergs.
Icebergs themselves are not dangerous natural disasters, but they can pose risks to ships if they collide with them, leading to potential accidents like sinking or damage to the vessel. Additionally, icebergs can break apart and create large waves that may be hazardous to ships in their vicinity.
After breaking off a glacier or ice sheet, icebergs can float in the ocean and drift with ocean currents. They may eventually melt, break apart further, or run aground. Some icebergs may also pose a hazard to ships navigating in the area.
I believe they are called icebergs... The process is called calving thoughThese chunks of ice that break away from the glacier are called icebergs. The process is called Calving.Icebergs
