The lookouts on Titanic spotted the iceberg with less than forty seconds to impact.
Typically, only about 10% of any iceberg is above sea-level. This is why we know that the berg that Titanic struck was far larger than the ship.
The actual iceberg would have surely been dissolved in a few days that far south.
On the night the Titanic sank, lookout duty was performed by Frederick Fleet and Reginald Lee. They were stationed in the crow's nest and were responsible for spotting any potential obstacles, including icebergs. Despite their vigilance, they did not see the iceberg until it was too late to avoid a collision. Fleet famously reported the iceberg sighting to the bridge just moments before the disaster occurred.
The Titanic was at sea for 4 days until it hit the iceberg.
Even though the captain received iceberg warnings, they thought that they would see the iceberg in time to turn away. But because of the ship's massive size and speed, it would not turn away from the iceberg in time.
The actual iceberg would have surely been dissolved in a few days that far south.
An iceberg is 100% until it breaks up (calves).
It continued south until it melted. The collision did not harm the iceberg.
Icebergs have been naturally occurring longer than there have been humans. So the first human to see an iceberg was simply the first human that made it far enough north into the natural range of icebergs. And that's too far back in history for us who know who it was.

on the iceberg it is on the far right of the map
no No, although only 10% of an iceberg is visible above the surface, icebergs will float until they dissolve into the sea.

The beginning of something much larger, which may be mostly unseen or unknown. It means there is a lot more to something than you might originally think, just as most of an iceberg lies beneath the surface of the ocean and is not able to be seen.ice is lighter than water so it floats, but only small part is above surface.The saying means that some much bigger problem is hidden behind what is already visible/surfaced.Most of an iceberg is under water. What you see is the top, which is the tip of the iceberg. So there is much more of it than you can't see. So the idiom is used when there is much more to something than you already know or can see. Someone is telling you about a problem. You their problem is bad. In trying to tell you that there is much more to the problem than they have told you so far, they may say that "That is only the tip of iceberg." So the problem is far worse than you already think it is, based on what you know so far.
