We all know that most of an ice cube floats below the surface. One rule of thumb says to multiply the amount of iceberg you see by seven times to estimate the true size of the iceberg. In this photo notice the light blue water that reaches out from the main iceberg and includes the area around the little iceberg in the foreground. That blue water shows part of the ice that is below the water line. The little iceberg is actually part of the bigger iceberg. Aboard the icebreaker Oden.
