Which is what does the iceberg look line under the under the sea? Take a look at the labeled iceberg. About 90% of it is blue and 10% is white. I'm speculating that its a slice of the tabular icesheet that has flipped on its side exposing the ice normally below sealevel. I expect that the blue color may mark the region previously below seawater. If the floating bergs are 25 m high, the depth below sea level would be about 200m making the whole berg about 225 m thick.
