5. Composite-that's what this is:
Much like the mighty PYRAMIDS of old,
90% of the average Iceberg is hidden from view:

10. I couldn't find the original photo...it has 10X the detail.
This seems to be a "posterized version"...
The original is a 3-photo composite (above, below, & waterline) made from photos of 2 different icebergs.

9. That's not a real picture
it's an artist's rendition of an iceberg.

Actually, let me go look around for the "original" composite photo.
BRB!

EDIT: here's the full story from SNOPES:
http://www.snopes.com/photos/iceberg.asp

Sadly, they have the same 'posterized' version of the photo.
The version I saw was AMAZING in its detail and clarity, a composite of truly breathtaking photos!

8. Again, sometimes not necessarily for their size, but for where
they are.
