Because a pot has an opening where heat gets out and it is way smaller. An iceberg can because it is way bigger and can hold heat in more easily.

Even though iceberg is cold and the pot of boiling water is hot there is more energy in the ice berg because there are more molecules moving in the iceberg then the pot of gold.
