Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone.
Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes.
Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the Gulf Stream still very warm.
Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.
Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelt which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.
Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.""

I think it's time to revisit your high school physics books, if you have any.
Floating ice displaces water equivalent to its weight. When it melts, mass remains the same, so the water level doesn't change.

I guess we can add physics to the growing list of things Freebeans isn't too good at. LOL.

Keep 'em: Sea ice can freeze and thaw. The subs travel under the ice floe, and the ice thickness can vary by season. Glaciers themselves can be hundreds/thousands of feet in thickness.
Free: just because I explained what you meant so GG and KES understood your post, it does not mean I agree with you, nor does it make you any less of a putz.
