iceberg

Noun B1 – Intermediate

A large mass of ice that has broken off a glacier or ice sheet and floats in the sea.

"The ship changed course to avoid a massive iceberg."

Only a small part of an iceberg shows above the water, which is why "the tip of the iceberg" describes the small visible part of a much bigger problem.
