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.
