From a rig managerfor Global Marine Drilling in St. Johns, Newfoundland.
They have to divert the path of these things away from the rig by towing them with ships. In this particular case, the water was calm, and the sun was almost directly overhead, so that the diver was able to get into the water and take this picture.
They estimated the weight at 300,000,000 tons.
NOW YOU KNOW WHAT THEY MEAN BY THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG.

What ? add ice to scotch? The expression "on the rocks" stems from day of yore when the Scots would take a pebble from the mountain stream(verry cold) place in the cup and pour a dram or four over the rocks, chilling it with no dilution. Ice in scotch?....sacrilege..lol

I dont suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it.
Been drinking Whisky and water since I was about 21 when I was at sea. Peg o sommat before Tea, most evenings was a bit of a tradition in some shipping companies. 3rd engineer told me to drink it with water and not neat as I was doing.
Almost all the scotsmen I was at sea with drank it with water. A few always had lemonade. Some drank it neat with a beer (A wee half and half)
When you do tastings in the Distillery's they recommend "Cutting the Dram" with water so as to bring oot the flavours.
I did a whisky appreciation course run by "Johnny Walker" about ten years back. All the whiskey,s were "Single Malt" from various distillery's.
It was a requirement that you "Cut the Whisky" with water to taste it. Best water I ever had with a drop was straight from a mountain burn in Scotland.
By the way the Iceberg picture was done as an artwork it seems called "The Essence of Imagination"
To illustrate "What you see is not necessarily what you get"
Made up of different pictures The top was Antartica, The bottom was Icebergs shot off Alaska above water then the pics flipped to form the below water bits.
