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.Eg. titanic.

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.
How are icebergs dangerous?
Dangerous enough, obviously. We're talking about 46,000 tons of steel going about 25 mph smashing against something that's harder than granite. We all know that the tip of the iceberg means there's much more below water but this is also glacial ice. Glacial ice is not frozen water, it's densely compacted snow, so it's six times denser than the ice in your freezer.

Why do you think icebergs are so dangerous to passing ships?
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.
