What kind of water is used to make an iceberg salt water or fresh water?

Only 10 percent of the iceberg are above water. That means 90 percent of the iceberg are underwater.
Why does only 10 percent of the iceberg float on top of water?
Yes. The rule of thumb is 20 percent is visible above the water. Yes, they do float, however i believe that it's 10% that is visible due to the density of ice (0.9 g/cm) and the density of water (1g/cm). So .1 or 1 tenth of the iceberg is above the surface. (10%)

What would happen if an iceberg were floating in fresh water?
Since an iceberg is fresh water in a frozen state, it would float. If the temperature were above the freezing point of 32 degrees Fahrenheit, it would also slowly melt.
