The talk is that it can't be towed away from shore as it has grounded, so the coast guard may use the water cannon to blast it, only problem is the smaller parts may just block the complete entrance. The intersting thing is the government just had the entrance all blasted as well as the pasage to allow deep draft sail boats to come in, guess that is over as the ice berg has probably pushed in more rocks and ended that. And that is one ice berg not two, thats just its two peaks.

Why don't some of the local industrious sailors - drill a hole , install a mast - and rigs some sails and sail it out of the harbor!! Not only will you be the heroes of the iceberg blockade, but surely would be the coldest tall tale of how a real sailor is made!
