Let’s Begin…
It's a well-known fact that the majority of an iceberg lies below the surface -- but just as stealthily hidden are their fascinating qualities. Traveling the seas, teeming with life, and sometimes even making a noise called "bergie seltzer," there's so much more than meets the eye. Camille Seaman gives homage to these icy isles.

icebergs play the conspicuous role to our planet, they affect the ecosystem, sea level , and most important of all, the bergs are main factor to carbon cycle. According to the research (http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/newsrel/science/03-28Icebergs.asp) , icebergs not only dilute the ocean water they pass through but influence the distribution of carbon-dioxide -absorbing phytoplankton in the ocean. icebergs can enhance the growth of phytoplankton, which is helpful to remove the carbon from the ocean.

One reason I think icebergs are important is because they help the ecosystem on where the icebergs are.And my second reason is that they give protection to the wild life which is basically the same response to my first answer.
Beacause they help such eco-systems like penguins , seals and many more sea animals.
Icebergs are an important part of our planet because they hold fresh water, they provide habitats for animals, and learning about them could help us avoid problems.
