उत्तर
Icebergs are dangerous for ships as they may collide with them. Icebergs being lighter than water, float on water with a major part of their surfaces laying under the water surface and only a small part lies outside water. Thus, it becomes difficult for the driver of the ship to estimate the size of the iceberg.
