Why does most ″part of the Ice bergs″ are found beneath the ocean's surface?

Let us seek the concept of density to answer this question. The densities of ice and sea water are so close in value. Remember that the density of ice is 0.92 g/mL, and the density of water is 1.0 g/mL (1.03 for salt water). This means that ice has nine–tenths, or 90 percent of water's density roughly and hence 90% of the iceberg is below the water's surface.
