If you put enough ice cubes in a glass so that the top ones are above the liquid level then the liquid level will rise as the ice melts.

For floating ice, that's not true. If the ice is floating on the water, as in the case of the Arctic, water-level should not over-flow.

Antarctica ice is a different scenario.
