Frozen water isn’t as dense as liquid water, so ice is bouyant. What you see above the surface of the water is just a fraction of what is hidden below.

It’s being supported by some not so black iceberg below the surface.

The black iceberg might be pykrete, made up of charred ancient forest burned from what ever.
