Iceburgs are not a problem today because of radar and because transatlantic liners now travel a route further south that the one the Titanic sailed. Another reason they are not a problem today is because of what people think today ships slwo down so they don't hit ice. Around the time of the Titanic people thought the less time they were near ice the less chance they would hit it so they went normal speed.

Where is the iceberg that caused the titanic to sink today at this very moment?

The iceberg that sank the Titanic in 1912 is no longer in the same location, as icebergs drift due to ocean currents and melting. It is likely that the iceberg has since broken apart or melted entirely, as icebergs have a limited lifespan. The precise location of that specific iceberg is unknown, but icebergs generally originate from Greenland's glaciers and can travel south into the North Atlantic. Today, the site of the Titanic's sinking is marked by a wreck site approximately 12,500 feet deep in the North Atlantic Ocean.
