When are icebergs the largest?

Icebergs are at their largest points when they break off of a glacier. Usually more than 92% of the iceberg's mass is underwater. For example, that was the problem with the Titanic. The captain thought it was just a puny iceberg, but under it was the rest of the MASSIVE iceberg. The iceberg punctured the belly of the boat, and water got into it, and when I saw water I mean A LOT of water. So that caused it to sink. So in conclusion icebergs are their largest when they break off of a glacier. For more information, go to www.minecraft.com/store -Courtesy of Sidney K.
