This is awesome! This came from a Rig Manager for Global Marine Drilling in St. Johns, Newfoundland.
They actually have to divert the path of these things away from the oil rigs by towing them with ships!
Anyway, in this particular case the water was calm & the sun was almost directly overhead so that the diver was able to get into the water and click this pic. Clear water huh?! They estimated the weight at 300,000,000 tons.

And now we also know why they say one picture is worth a 1000 words....
This is false, a composite of 4 pictures and not from Newfoundland either, it has been around for years. http://www.snopes.com/photos/natural/iceberg.asp

beautiful pic, but impossible. the rays of light on one side of the pic are slanting down to the right and on the other are slanting done to the left. the millions of miles of way our sun is, makes this effect imposible. the rays should all face one way.
