Iceberg Above Below Water — free printable diagram

About this illustration

A vibrant cartoon-style illustration depicts an iceberg floating in light blue water, with its tip visible above the surface and the vast majority submerged. The image visually explains 'The Iceberg Rule,' highlighting that 1/9 of the iceberg is 'Above the water (What you see)' and 8/9 is 'Below the water (What you don't see)'. This visual metaphor is excellent for teaching abstract concepts where only a small part is initially apparent, such as culture, data analysis, or problem-solving. It's suitable for classroom slides, worksheets, or as a discussion prompt across various subjects. The visual style is a flat illustration with clear lines and gradients, giving it a high-contrast, engaging look.
