    AH yes John, but the ice , glaciers , etc rises above sea level, so therefore takes up air space rather than sea space. When they melt they revert back to water and back into the sea so the sea levels rise.

    Thought that an ice berg displaces its own weight in water, so if it melted the same amount of water is still there.
    If you put a big chunk of ice in a glass jug floating in water and mark the levels it would still be the same level when the ice melted,
    I have never tried it but that is what I was told by someone, somewhere in the distant past,
    But again maybe a glacier would be extra water with it being on land.
    Cheers
    Brian.

    Its the amount of ice on land that I meant, whose melt waters run into the sea thus adding to the sea and increasing sea levels.
