However, we are talking about ice on land. When it melts, it flows into the ocean.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('12081','Tenney Naumer'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('12081','Tenney Naumer','Dear Mark,\r\n\r\nIf we were talking about the ice floating on the surface of the ocean, you would be correct.\r\n\r\nHowever, we are talking about ice on land.

If we were talking about the ice floating on the surface of the ocean, you would be correct.

However, we are talking about ice on land. When it melts, it flows into the ocean.

Ice in a full glass of water will not overflow the glass when melted. Ice is less dense than water so shouldn't the melted ice actually lower the sea level?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('10525','Mark Eickhoff'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('10525','Mark Eickhoff','Why does ice melting result in sea level rise?
