This thing is the size of Jamaica with a draft of 200m (and so a height of more than that). It would take multiple nuclear weapons to do it any real kind of damage.

I didn't want to mention nukes as to the potential fallout that close to this precious wildlife will probably do way more harm than the actual iceberg.
Presumably same issues as nuking hurricanes :) https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd-faq/#hurricane-mitigation
I know the article makes the Jamaica comparison. But the iceberg is 4200km sq and Jamaica is 10000km sq.
