Why do they flip?
Well; the top; in air of below freezing; stays pretty much the same size; while the underwater part is in water that is ABOVE freezing; thus melting the support right out from under the berg.
When the center of mass drifts off enough from the center of pressure; FLIP!

Icebergs flip because when they melt down they look like Guam.
