The book delves into historical disasters, like the Titanic, analyzes present-day risks to oil platforms, and explores future impacts on coastal communities due to climate change. While advancements have mitigated some dangers, the book argues that a renewed approach to risk assessment and monitoring is vital.

The book progresses logically, starting with the science of icebergs, then moving to historical impacts and modern-day threats. For example, it considers how increased maritime activity in iceberg-prone regions elevates risk. The book emphasizes the need for proactive measures to address emerging threats.
