Although an iceberg is cold and a pot of boiling water is hot, there is more heat energy in an iceberg because there are more molecules moving around. An iceberg is much bigger than a pot of boiling water, so even though it's not hot, it will have more molecules that are creating more heat energy than in a pot of boiling water.
