Just when you thought everything possible had been photographed...

I have to say that while the shot is very nice and the iceberg quite a large one, this is nowhere near as rare as it's made out to be. Something similar is seen on many Antarctic voyages, though as mentioned, this is a particularly nice one.

Lovely photos, but not rare. Icebergs flip all the time as the water melts the submerged part and they become topheavy.
