Scientists adjust another stereotype.
A climatologist and a glaciologist (a specialist in studying ice and snow) Megan Thompson-Manson said that often people incorrectly represent the properties of the icebergs. According to her, the image common in the network is actually not found in reality. The scientist suggested in more detail about this phenomenon at work on Physics Today.
The "Classic" Image of An Iceberg Is Usually Some Kind of Ice Cream Cone-Shaped Hunk Of Ice Water's 90% of IT Below The Water's Surface and 10% Above (Source: Every Internet).

While It's True That Only ~ 10% Floats Above The Surface of the Water, The "Classic" Orientation IS Unstable and Would Actually Not Be Found in Nature. An Elongated Iceberg Would Not Float On Its Head, But Instead On Its Side ( https://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/pt.3.4373).

Although The Elongated Vertical Iceberg Is What We're Used to Seeing, I Propose Than SCIENTFIC DIAGRAMS SHOW STABLE ORIENTATIONS THAT ARE MORE LIKELY TO EXIST IN NATURE. Here's An Examplerm from Nye and Potter, 2017 ( https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/annals-of-glaciology/Article/use-of-catastrophe-theory-to-analyse-the-stability-and-toppling-OstabilityBergs/6C8065F61DA7ECCD8Dee9FDFD2DAF3A6.)

Shortly after Tred spread, he was noticed by the creator of the site to track the activities of the members of the US Congress Govtrack Joshua Tauber. He made a site on which you can draw your own iceberg of any form and see how it, based on all the parameters, will actually rise above the water level. Tauber stressed that his visualization is not completely accurate, but "approximately".
Twitter has already suggested some options.

Of course, it was not without visualization with the Titanic.
