And on island it is heading for:

There might be a few dozen people that live there. Looks like they might live on the other side of the island from the side that might get hit.

Since an iceberg is mostly underwater, it will hit the sea floor further out than simply crashing into land above water. But it could still do tremendous ecological damage.
