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.

Why did the Titanic went underwater not on top?
The bottom loved the water and iceberg, so it tried to give it a nice big hug. But the iceberg didn't want a hug. It smacked the bottom with its big iceberg hand. The bottom now had a big hole in it! So it had to leave the top and go underwater without it. The top was so alone, it became depressed. So it made the iceberg kill it, too. And that is why the Titantic went underwater not on top.
What makes an iceberg dangerous?
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.
What does the clinical iceberg mean?
The clinical iceberg is the number of illnesses or diseases that doctors believe go unreported. The condition gets it name from an actual iceberg, of which there is a much larger mass hidden underwater than what can be seen from the surface.
What size was the iceberg that sunk the Titanic?
The exact size of the iceberg will probably never be known, but according to early newspaper reports the height and length of the iceberg was approximated at 50 to 100 feet high and 200 to 400 feet long. However, these dimensions only relate to the estimated size above water. Around 85% of an iceberg is below water. Therefore multiplying the estimates you have an iceberg with a volume of between 810,00 and 3,240,000 square feet.I'm not sure what you're asking so I'm going to interpret it as "when the Titanic struck and iceberg, how much of that iceberg was above water?". The iceberg that the Titanic struck looked small because only about a ninth (1/9) of the iceberg was above water. In reality, the iceberg was immense, with the rest (8/9) of it underwater. A portion of the berg that was underwater sunk the Titanic.
Could the titanic of made it if it went straight trough the iceberg?
No. The iceberg was considerably larger and heavier than the Titanic- sort of a mountain of ice, mostly underwater. To attempt that would be like trying to fly an airplane through a concrete wall- a quick disaster.
How much bulk of an iceberg is underwater?
9/10ths of the iceberg is typically underwater.
How much of the Lambert glacier is covered underwater?

How much bulk of a iceberg is underwater?

What fraction of an iceberg is under water?
Nine tenths (9/10) of an iceberg is underwater.
Is the underwater portion of an iceberg bigger than the portion that is visible above water?
The underwater portion of an iceberg IS bigger than the portion that is visible above water.
What fraction of on iceberg is under water?
Typically, about 90% of an iceberg is underwater, while only about 10% is visible above the surface. This is because ice is less dense than seawater, causing most of the iceberg to remain submerged.

What percentage of an iceberg can be seen above water?
typically only one-tenth of the volume of an iceberg is above water.
What percentage of the world's fresh water does an iceberg hold?
80%
