Question

Icebergs
In very cold Artic regions, repeated snows harden the deep icy glaciers
that cover the shores. Large pieces of the glaciers break away from
the main glacier mass and float away. These floating pieces of glaciers
are called icebergs. They move through the sea by winds and currents.
The colour of icebergs is clear with a bluish -green tint. They can be
miles long and may rise to heights of 200-300 feet above the sea. The
visible part of an iceberg may appear large, but this visible part is
really only about one --eighth of the entire mass of the iceberg. The
other seven-eighth of the iceberg is below the surface of the water
.So, if an iceberg rises 100 feet above the sea that means it extends
700 feet below the sea as well.
Icebergs floating in these waters can be a great danger to ships. When
an iceberg Is spotted, the Coast Guard radios a warning to all ships in
the area and gives the exact location so that the ships can avoid it.

1. What is the main idea of this passage?
